“Everything that happens in our lives is "good information" about the degree to which our choices are working for us. We can, however, choose to believe that we are a victim of the world we see, and have no choices. And, of course, we will receive "good information" about this belief as well.” WorldBelieveWellsHappensLife IsChoicesCoursesBeliefOur LivesInformationDegreesVictimOur ChoicesLife Is GoodGood Information Author:Bill Crawford

“The problem is that humans have victimized animals to such a degree, that they aren't even considered victims. They aren't even considered at all. They're nothing. They don't count, they don't matter, they're commodities like TV sets and cellphones. We've actually turned animals into inanimate objects - sandwiches and shoes.

“Being a homicide detective ca be the loneliest job in the world. The friends of the victim are upset and in despair, but sooner or later - after weeks or months - they go back to their everyday lives. For the closest family it takes longer, but for the most part, to some degree, they too get over the grieving and despair. Life has to go on; it does go on. But the unsolved murders keep gnawing away and in the end there's only one person left who thinks night and day about the victim: it's the office who is left with the investigation.” ThinkingWorldPersonsDoeEndsJobsNightLeftWeekMonthsGoes OnDespairOfficeDegreesMurderVictimEverydayUpsetGrievingInvestigationClosestSooner Or LaterEveryday LifeGet OverDetectivesHomicide Author:Steig Larsson

“Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter, by peaceful or revolutionary means, into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.” MenTryingMayMeanTwoDifferentLawPoliticalPurposeWishClassShareDegreesEnlightenmentVictimInjusticeProfitPeacefulRevolutionaryOrganizedRebelProposePolitical PowerPlunder Book:The Law Source: The Law

“Abuse is always wrong. Some try to excuse it. Most perpetrators have a sense of entitlement, thinking their actions are justified. Ironically, their victims may also believe they deserve to be mistreated. Some will even defend their abuser, citing his or her earnest apologies afterward. But abuse in any form, for any reason, wounds both spouses. It's always sinful, and few things destroy trust in a marriage as quickly. Regardless of childhood pain or marital conflict, mature spouses learn to set limits so anger doesn't become abuse by frequency, degree, or duration.” ThinkingTryingBelieveMayReasonActionPainFormChildhoodConflictLimitsDegreesDeserveAbuseVictimExcuseWoundsMatureApologySpouseJustifiedEarnestFrequencyEntitlementDurationAbusersPerpetratorsCitingAlways WrongMistreatedSense Of Entitlement Author:Rob Jackson
