Maxims and Thoughts about Life
By thinking thoughts all day, we are continually reading our own autobiographies; by choosing what to do, we are continually writing them as well.
I could be a million different people, but the only way things will turn out are the way they would if I were here.
But if you’re not who you are, you’ll never know what the world would have been like if you were.
Remember that other people have to fit you into the way they see the world. You are one piece of evidence they will fit into a grand conclusion about life. Thus, make sure the theory you confirm is a good one. ‘People are very loving’ ‘God is a reality in people’s lives’ ‘Silliness is a good thing’
Ah life, the grand adventure. Let us all make sure we do not fall asleep on the road. Crosses are hard enough to carry as it is, just imagine while sleeping.
With that, I think it’s about time for some late night tea. Goodnight.

haha this is kind of what I’ve been writing about especially. “ut if you’re not who you are, you’ll never know what the world would have been like if you were.”
“Remember that other people have to fit you into the way they see the world. You are one piece of evidence they will fit into a grand conclusion about life.”
That’s totally brilliant.
I I hope i contribute something good to other peoples view of the world- i do complain alot though- i’ll work on that. This is a very cool argument- thanks for sharing(hope you enjoyed your tea
You know, I just really like reading your posts. That fourth paragraph is such a great way of looking at it….I’m going to remember that.
I love this:

Very true. I’ve heard it said that people don’t remember what you said, but how you made them feel. And I’ve learned that to an extent that is true.
