Don’t do what you think you have to do… only do what you absolutely must do
Change your perspective… and the reality changes!
That’s what a daycare npc told me in Pokemon Black. Although I haven’t really found much use for the quote, it has stuck with me for long.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
When I was in high school, a friend of mine came from a Republican family. He once told me “You think that if it would be nice that a thing were true, that means it is true”.
It took me a long time to understand what he meant, but I finally do, and he was spot on with how my philosophy worked.
We have not created the heavens and the earth and everything in between except for a purpose. And the Hour is certain to come, so forgive graciously.
15:85 Quran
The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.
