    Its your job to understand the darkness but not to get rid of it. But the dark can never understand you.

    I used to think it was about getting rid of the bad things or people. Now i realize its about understanding them.

    I also realize these people or environments can't understand me ..or some people can't ...and I have to accept this.

    The darkness in people doesn't understand us.

    Its the light in them that does.

    Not everyone will get an opportunity with you. Life is unfair. Not everyone will win your lottery.

    I don't have to give everyone a golden ticket in life. I don't have to give everyone a golden ticket to my life ..my mind etc.

    Don't date people more attractive than you or richer than you ....


    'I am smarter than most people. ' Is something dumb people think.

    Oh and that people think the way i express myself is terrible in english!

    Can't think of one so I will steal the one Derren Brown has been saying recently:

    Most people would stop caring what others think about them - if they only knew how seldom they actually do.

    That's what scares me most of all.

    It ain't a crime if you don't get caught, that's how it is homey like it or not.

    It is not the lie, it is the lie in the liar.

    I always tell the truth, even when I lie.

    If someone has the power to make you feel good, they also have the power to make you feel bad. And don't think they aren't aware of when they make you feel good!

    Firstly, never stick a banger up your arse at halloween.

    Marriage is not for everyone. Don't do it just because your mother told you that you have to.

    Get as much sex as you can when you are young. Despite what people will tell you, people are sexual beings and are made to shag each others brains out. You'll be the happier for it.

    Work is overrated. Necessary but overrated. Don't think too much about building a career. Build a life.

    I'm not usually a big people person but meaningful relationships can be really rewarding. Hold on to whatever real friends you have. You'll only ever have one or two but that is all you need.

    Saving is a great habit to get in to.

    Neither a borrower no a lender be.

    Hard work doesn't get you anywhere, except landed with more work.

    That's what scares me most of all.

    I think he phrased it better than I did when he said it actually. As when I read what I wrote it suggests that people are not thinking about each other _at all_ which is scary as you say.

    What I think he was saying at the time was we would be less concerned about the value judgements people think about us if we realised how seldom they actually do.

    This is why I totally suck at little soundbytes for threads like this. Most of the actually useful life lessons I have learned take a medium sized essay to explain. I can ne'er do it as a one liner.

    The only really life changing life lesson I ever had that improved _my_ own life was shifting the variables by which I judged myself from toxic ones to healthy ones. But the only one liners I have heard about that sound smug and self righteous even when they are well meaning. The podcaster Blindboy for example would call it "Shifting from an external to internal locus of self-evaluation".

    I know what he means. But it sounds like a smug self-**** too :)
