- The Way of the Leaf? What’s going to happen happens for a reason whether or not we wish it to be so. What’s going to happen is inevitable.
- “There are no clear paths. Only pitfalls and trip wires and darkness.” ~ Robert Jordan
- The purpose of life, possibly, is merely to live it, learn from it, and improve yourself.
- Respect is earned by the respect given.
- Looking at the world, I see that people tend to replace justice with violence.
- The best leaders posses no desires to be one. They wish to live a humble, peaceful life while ignoring their full potential.
- Life is too short to be a success at what you hate. Is it more enjoyable being a failure while attempting to do what you love?
- “There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that? When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.” ~ Khaled Hosseini; The Kite Runner
- A crummy situation. Time has past. Still feeling upset/angry. Will it be ok? Only if you let it be. Letting it be alright and moving on is all up to the person, not time. Time may help or hinder, but it’s not the deciding factor.
- There is no limit to our freedom, only consequences and mutual respect towards others’ rights.
- Hope is key to your survival in this thing we call life; as well as faith. Hope is needed so we believe there is something more; and faith in that there is something more.
- “It is what it is. What the hell can you do about it?” ~ Ben McGann
- The bad in life is always balanced out by the good!
- “You will remain the same until the pain of constant is greater than the pain of change.” ~?
- “The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity — it’s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud.” ~Yann Martel; Life of Pi

It’s fascinating to see the world from someone else’s perspective. The one from the Kite Runner was one of the most memorable quotes, to me, from the book. I wonder about many of these things as well…
The “crummy situation” is so true, I’ve learned from experiance, though it is harder than it may seem.
