“People who believe their unquestioned thoughts cannot see what is obvious and directly in front of their faces at all times, because they are invested in what they believe to be true. As long as they live out of an unquestioned mind, they must continue to argue with what they believe is happening rather than the reality of what is really happening.” PeopleMindBelieveLongRealityFacesFrontsHappeningsObviousArguingBeing TrueAll Time Author:Byron Katie
“Someone is going to figure out how to make this work and when they do, all the anti-gambling, over-regulating authoritarian governments will be exposed as emperors without clothes.

“If it is true that it is the simplicity of the Einsteinian formulae which constitutes their difficulty, that they are so obvious as to escape notice, it seems to me that this applies to events in life, numberless happenings, perhaps the basic ones, which we, saturated in detail and hurrying through subdivisions, lose sight of.” IfsSeemsLosesEventsHappeningsSightDifficultySimplicityDetailsObviousHurryingSaturatedEvents In Life Author:Mary Butts

“When you see what is happening with the social network, with Facebook, Twitter and co it is becoming obvious that the reputation of ourselves is becoming more and more important everyday.

It is more difficult to take responsibility for our mistakes.” WorldImportantSometimesSocialEasyDifficultMistakeResponsibilityToo MuchBecomingHappeningsEverydayObviousReputationMaking MistakesTaking ResponsibilityBecoming MoreSocial NetworkVirtual World Author:Emmanuel Petit
“This tug-of-war often obscures what's also happening between us. I am your mother, the first mile of your road. Me and all my obvious and hidden limitations. That means that in addition to possibly wrecking you, I have the chance to give to you what was given to me: a decent childhood, more good memories than bad, some values, a sense of tribe, a run at happiness. You can't imagine how seriously I take that - even as I fail you. Mothering you is the first thing of consequence that I have ever done.” GivingFirstsMeanWarDoneRunningMotherValuesGivenMemoriesChanceImagineFailingChildhoodHappeningsConsequenceObviousMilesLimitationDecentTribesMotheringGood MemoriesTug Of War Author:Kelly Corrigan
