… stupidity …

Ah yes……. what a great word, a great subject.
………Stupidity…….
What is it that could be more irritating than pure Stupidity?
And what IS it about people who are of very ordinary intelligence
that encourages them to think they are smarter than they are?

Must you be smart in order to know how little you know?
Oh I think so.  At least that has been my experience, both with
others, and yes, myself as well.
When you are young, you think you know everything… because
the world is very small, and perhaps you Do know all about it….
that small secure and encased world of yours.
But as you grow and learn, and as the world grows larger with you,
you begin to realize how very Little you actually Know.

Sometimes you’re too stupid to know how stupid you really are.

… you waiting …

on the new year

Expect the sun to rise, and it will not.

Ignore it, and it comes to you willingly,

crying sun drops, wanting cloudlings to

hide its loneliness.

Wait only for the one who waits for you,

which is you, waiting,

endlessly waiting,

for you,

you waiting,

forever waiting,

waiting without a magazine.

“For many, love is a two-sided coin.

It can strengthen or stifle, expand or enfeeble,

perfect or pauperize.

When love is returned, we soar.

We are taken to heights unseen,

where it delights, invigorates, and beautifies.

When love is spurned, we feel crippled,

disconsolate, and bereaved.

Polish the coin and you will see only

requited love on both sides.

I was destined to love you and

I will belong to you forever.”

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul

and makes us reach for more,

that plants a fire in our hearts

and brings peace to our minds.

And that’s what you’ve given me.

That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever.”

 
……………….Nicholas Sparks

… what is love? …

“It is not a lack of love, but

a lack of friendship that makes

unhappy marriages.”

 

………….Friedrich Nietzsche

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies

because we don’t know how to replenish its source.

It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.

It dies of illness and wounds;

it dies of weariness, of

witherings, of tarnishings.”

 

……………………..Anaïs Nin

“Love is not affectionate feeling, but

a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good

as far as it can be obtained.”

 

……………………………..C.S. Lewis

“We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move
through
our tragedies and challenges and to help each other
move through the many painful episodes of our lives.

By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our
own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent
in our wounds — the Strength to overcome them and the
Lessons that we are meant to receive through them.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the Hearts
of other people. They are meant to teach us to become
Compassionate and Wise. “
