“It is always disagreeable to take stands. It is always easier to compromise, always easier to let things go. To many women, and I am one of them, it is extraordinarily difficult to care about anything enough to cause disagreement or unpleasant feelings, but I have come to the conclusion that this must be done for a time until we can prove our strength and demand respect for our wishes. We cannot even be of real service in the coming campaign and speak as a united body of women unless we have the respect of men and show that when we express a wish, we are willing to stand by it.” MenRealDoneEnoughShowsFeelingsBodyCareSpeakWishCausesDifficultUnitedWillingEasierDemandProveCampaignsConclusionCompromiseDisagreementDisagreeableLetting Things Go Book:Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends Source: Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends
“To seek Truth is automatically a calling for the innate dissident and the subversive; how many are willing to give up safety and security for the perilous life of the spiritual revolutionary? How many are willing to truly learn that their own cherished concepts are wrong? Striking provocative or mysterious poses in the safety of Internet [social media] is far easier than taking the risks involved in the hard work of genuine initiation.” GivingHardSpiritualSocialRiskSecurityMediaWillingHard WorkInternetInvolvedEasierCallingTruth IsGiving UpConceptsSafetySocial MediaGenuineMysteriousRevolutionaryInnateProvocativeSubversiveInitiationDissidentsSafety And Security Author:Zeena Schreck

“Well I can tell you that for me generally speaking that I think things that I deal with are all to do with not accepting things, not excepting life on life's terms. My life becomes a lot easier when I'm willing to just accept. I don't have to like circumstances as they are, but I have to accept them and that's where I always seem to get thrown, when I try to will my way instead of accept things the way they are.” ThinkingWayTryingWellsI CanSeemsTermDealsAcceptingWillingCircumstancesEasierMy WayThrownAccepting Things Author:Matt Dillon
“We're all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels. And when we begin to realize that we're all looking from the point of view of our own reality tunnels, we find that it is much easier to understand where other people are coming from. All the ones who don't have the same reality tunnel as us do not seem ignorant, or deliberately perverse, or lying, or hypnotized by some mad ideology, they just have a different reality tunnel. And every reality tunnel might tell us something interesting about our world, if we're willing to listen.” PeopleIfsWorldDifferentRealitySeemsMightLyingRealizingInterestingViewsWillingEasierMadPoint Of ViewIgnorantIdeologyOur WorldTunnelsSomething InterestingDifferent Realities Author:Robert Anton Wilson
