Quote by Shaila Touchton

“When provoked, take a deep breath and pause before reacting. Lashing out aggressively may feel justified, but it usually makes things worse in the long term. The best response to disrespect is to maintain your principles and treat others with dignity, even if they don't reciprocate. Retaliation, whether immediate or delayed, only continues the cycle of disrespect. With patience and self-discipline, you can remain the calm eye of the storm and diffuse volatile situations. By not becoming like the wrongdoer, you can elevate the situation and transform it with level-headed strength.”

The stars tonight are extraordinarily clear; the Bushman call the Milky Way 'The Backbone of the Night'. An aeroplane in the night sky floats past, a lonely firefly exiled to outer space because of its abnormal size.”
