Human Nature Wisdom Quotes

“But money has a peculiar nature. It can buy objects and souls, but it can also change them. It dulls emotions. Then, with the methodical and disciplined way in which it is accumulated, it severs every tie of its possessor to the spiritual world, in whose name sometimes their furious pursuit initially sparked. Ultimately, the hunting and cornering, with the ferocity and determination of a bewildered frenzy, disrupts the centre, blurs perceptions, erases the outlines of values, and extracts meaning—both from the pursued and the pursuer. Money loses its purpose. Its function. It no longer serves him, and he forgets to serve himself with it, sinking into self-loathing. The only nature that money eventually retains, and which he attributes to it, because he remembers nothing else, is accumulation. This is the very end: of the humanity in him and the life he was given.”

“But then again, can't people just not fucking suck as human beings once in awhile? Is that too much to fucking ask? Is it too much to ask that people like each other for who they are and not what they have? Am I naive about the nature of motherfuckers under Mother Nature's broken wings? Nah, fuck that. People have just as much capacity to be good as they do to be shit. It's a choice. People make choices. So they need to make better fucking choices.”

“We are able to overcome grievances towards others when we understand that everyone is acting from their own fallible experiences in life. You can only react to anything, from your own storage of life experience that's happened to you thus far. No one can possibly react to anything beyond their own personal storage box of life. That's why it's bound to be fallible, bound to hurt someone else who's coming from somewhere else, and that's also why sometimes something explodes! Nothing is ever personally about us. We all look back ten years later and then see what we could have said or done differently. Better. It's the same way for everybody, and that's how we can let things go.”

“You know what is the most complicated feature of human nature? It is the term complication itself. We are never satisfied with keeping things simple. We always tend to exaggerate even the simplest phenomenon of this planet.”

“What you deeply resent in another, is actually a reflection of what you wish you had or what you wish you could be. Resentful of how another speaks her mind? Because you were silenced and therefore fell silent. Resentful of how another wears (or doesn't wear) whatever she wants? Because you are controlled by your own ideas of morality and societal expectations. Resentful of how another's life is not constructed to pander and please others? Because you are bound by the cruel chains of people-pleasing, you don't know how to break out of. What you resent in others is what you actually wish you could be.”

“We usually think that envy happens over one's appearance, wealth, status. But that's not what causes intense forms of envy. Intense forms of envy are caused by one's energy: the atmosphere you bring into a room, the way your eyes glisten and sparkle when you laugh from your soul, the way another person's eyes glisten and sparkle when they mention your name. Envy of your energy can be the most damaging form of harshness you'll ever become victim of. People will do ANYTHING to rob you of the soul - space you inhabit. Anything to dull that glow in your eyes.”

“Our very nature is truth. It is because of truth that we exist, and it is to truth that we return. It is true, everything about you as you are this echo of infinity. The heartbeat of nature is in you, and you are a pattern of truth as love beats through you.”
