Quote by Pamela Kay Hawkins

“All of us have a shadow man dogging our steps that we cannot shake, no matter how hard we try. He reminds us at our best that we are not as good as we appear to be; he bites at our heel with guilt when we find ourselves behaving far beneath our own expectations. That is the human condition. That is why we yearn so for redemption.”

“You were born, your life was to serve other souls, Love and serve or you'll be left alone, You worship not GOD but listen to Satan, That's why try not to think of going to Heaven, Being selfish will for sure lead you to pain, You will burn in fire and the GOD loving people will dance in the rain, The ego you have doesn't make any sense, One day you'll die and you won't have a second chance... It's 2:41 Am ~Me” ― Mr.Khan”

“I don't think that incident necessarily defines you as bad. I think it makes you human. And I believe you would have stopped yourself. I think that's what makes a person good. Not that you make mistakes, but that you recognize them. You feel remorse for them. You want to correct them and do better.”

“Work on making yourself a complete being. Though you were born with the physical traits of one sex, you possess the characteristics of both - including those of plants and animals. You were created as a nearly complete universal being, but with flaws. True perfection can only be achieved when one recognizes that they need to combine their oneness with others and nature. Only then is one considered complete.”
