Food for Thought

in #esteem6 years ago

Every now and then, we come across a phrase, or a paragraph which arouses certain emotions in us. Perhaps the particular word, phrase, or paragraph has a special meaning which we can relate to, or it may have aroused some feelings or emotions we experienced in the past. Or it may simply be that it describes something so appropriately, or so beautifully, that we always want to remember it.

Spare a few moments to ponder on the following words of wisdom.

Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understand. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self-kind of understanding. - Bill Bullard

Conflicts in relationships – having an annoying office mate or room-mate, or having chronic conflict with your spouse – is one of the surest ways to reduce your happiness. You never adapt to interpersonal conflict; it damages every day, even days when you don't see the other person but ruminate about the conflict nonetheless. - Johathan Haidt

Human nature, at its best, had always been based on a deep heroic restlessness, on wanting something – something else, something more, whether it be true love or a glimpse just beyond the horizon. It was the promise of happiness, not the attainment of it, that had driven the entire engine, the folly and glory of who we are. - Will Ferguson

Next year I will be a poor broke nomad...all I hope to get from you is real handshake! That's all..

I don't know why you should be a poor broke nomad, but I certainly hope that you don't come to that stage. I sincerely hope that something will turn up in your favour. You will get more than a handshake from me, that's for sure.

.

Why do you have to leave - if you don't mind my asking.

As a natural born citizen of the US, I can confirm this to be truth. Even citizens get trapped. Doesn't matter if you served in the military honorably either as I did. The moment they get the opportunity to strip you of your right to a passport, they will do so, as they did with me.

This is so sad. I hope things are good with you now.

Yes sir, things are better. I'm grateful for what I have, and always keep in mind that there are others have it harder than me.

No matter what is presented in any given moment, all we have is the moment. Gratitude inventory, and understanding of what could be, both in the good/bad sense is how I operate, or try to anyways. It's work, and takes continual practice.

I am glad to hear that things are better for you. Hope it gets even better. :-)

Gratitude attitude. That's the attitude to take. Always thankful that things are not a lot worse, always grateful that you are better off than a lot of others.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you @quotes-haven You as well, have a great weekend :)

...I have everything,but nothing.. nothing has taste or flavor.. it's just sad..

Your situation sounds dire. I hope something works out for you soon. Meanwhile hang on in there.

I have a surprise for you...I hope it works..

Lol...it's embarrassing...but I don't remember what I was thinking... complete blackout after I went to sleep..😕
