“I remember while I was at school some of my Muslim friends talked about a handful of people spoiling things in every culture. Hatred or hurt or pain isn't specific to a religion. I think it's a matter of acceptance. The one thing the world has to accept is everybody is different. What is normal to us is different and unusual to somebody else.” PeopleThinkingWorldDifferentMatterSchoolPainRememberCultureHurtAcceptingOne ThingAcceptanceNormalHatredUnusualHandful Author:Jessie J
“There is no hope for the world unless and until we formulate, accept and state publicly a true moral code of individualism, based on man's inalienable right to live for himself. Neither to hurt nor to serve his brothers, but to be independent of them in his function and in his motive. Neither to sacrifice them for himself nor to sacrifice himself for them.” MenWorldStatesHurtAcceptingMoralSacrificeBrotherFunctionIndependentIndividualityCodeMotiveIndividualismNo HopeMoral Code Book:Letters of Ayn Rand Source: Letters of Ayn Rand

“Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.” MenWayHumansKindChildrenSometimesRememberSpeakParentNaturalHurtForgetAcceptingMoralWifeForgivenessAskingForgivingEndureYesterdayWeatherArroganceSpiteLastingWillingnessRitualOfferingHumiliationSolemnHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsChildren And Parents Author:Paul Tillich

“Some people have different ways than yours of having fun. You can't judge 'em, you can't dismiss 'em, and you can't say, 'what an idiot, what a food.'

“I know that I'm very susceptible to getting caught up in storylines like, "I want him to be different. I want him to be more open. I want him to call." We have all of these storylines that kind of take over sometimes, and I think there's real grace and a peaceful heart at the center of just accepting what is, and knowing that everything's OK. The good, the bad, the ugly, the pain, the hurt, the frustration - all of that is valuable and part of this human experience, so we should lean in to all of it.” ThinkingKnowsWantShouldHumansHeartKindDifferentRealSometimesPainHurtAcceptingKnowingGraceCaughtUglyValuablePeacefulFrustrationCaught UpHuman ExperienceWant HimSusceptibleStorylinePeaceful HeartAccepting What Is Author:Sara Bareilles
