"What are such curious beings. As much as we decry our early treatment at home, we just keep on repeating it because that's what we know. Those are the grooves laid down in our brains and until we take an active part in restructuring our brain patterns, we are doomed to repeat the horrors of the past." -Ellen Burstyn, from her biography 'Lessons in Becoming Myself' (an amazing book that I am thoroughly enjoying)

That is a remarkable observation. Thanks for sharing that.

Wenn durch einen Menschen
ein wenig mehr Gute und Liebe,
ein wenig mehr Licht und Wahrheit in der Welt war,
hat sein Leben einen Sinn gehabt.

When, through someone
a little more goodness and love,
a little more light and truth was in the world,
their life has had a purpose (made sense)

"There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain, the mind must leave reality behind." - Patrick Rothfuss
