“Another misconception is that if we truly loved someone, we will never finish with our grief, as if continued sorrow is a testimonial to our love. But true love does not need grief to support its truth. Love can last in a healthy and meaningful way, once our grief is dispelled. We can honor our dead more by the quality of our continued living than by our constantly remembering the past.” IfsWayNeedsDoeLastsPastRememberGriefQualitySupportHonorSorrowHealthyMeaningfulGrievingOur LoveMisconceptionTruth LoveRemembering The PastTestimonial Author:Judy Tatelbaum
“One of the problems with studies that examine the effects of violent imagery is that they typically use mentally healthy psychology students.

“There's an amazing line in Marcus Aurelius: "The healthy eye ought to see all visible things and not to say, I wish for green things; for this is the condition of a diseased eye." Maybe green is your favorite color - but if you saw everything as green, that wouldn't be a blessing, it would be an eye disease. By the same token, if there was no heartbreak, and everything happened exactly as you want - it would be a less beautiful and meaningful story than the actual story, where you're a part of a huge complicated mysterious whole.” EyeBeautifulWishHealthyBlessingComplicatedMeaningfulMysteriousYour Favorite Author:Elif Batuman
