To be happy, we should have no unrealistic expectations, and an idea of the meaning and purpose of life. Our thoughts come spontaneously from our experiences and our attitudes, which we can shape to give us peace of mind. It’s best if we say to ourselves, ‘There is no such thing as fate, nor a force of evil.’ We should work at understanding people and our relationships, and get better at making decisions, making allowances, and be more accepting of things that irk. We use words without thinking of their meaning. Do we mean what we say, and can we say what we mean? Can we make time to consider ..read more

For me reading a writer’s work I sometimes can relate to a character there’s a commonality, but I often find the result wasn’t the same as my own experience.
