“If you vent anger with the object of spreading your toxic feelings, the result will have nothing to do with healing. Your anger is your weapon. On the other hand, if you release anger the way you'd expel a rock from your shoe, your intention clearly has healing behind it. Once the anger starts flowing, both of these alternatives might feel the same. Anger is anger. But if you have a healing intention, two things will happen: you will feel more peaceful after your anger has been released, and you will feel like an old, fixed belief in enemies and injustice has started to move.” IfsWayFeelsHas BeensTwoFeelingsHandsMightHappensMovingBeliefResultsHealingBehindsEnemyRocksObjectsWeaponsAngerIntentionInjusticeShoesPeacefulReleaseAlternativesFixedTwo ThingsToxic Author:Deepak Chopra
“If often happens too, both in courts and in cabinets, that there are two things going on together,--a main plot and an under-plot; and he that understands only one of them will, in all probability, be the dupe of both.

“I have always employed humor, and I think it’s absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion. I mean, you can compel fear, as we know. You can compel love, actually, if somebody is isolated and dependent — it’s like the Stockholm syndrome. But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and make a third unexpectedly. It happens when you learn something, too.” KnowsMeanTwoHumorHappensTogetherEmotionLaughterThirdsTwo ThingsLove Actually Author:Gloria Steinem
