That is why some pains are best swallowed, some remorse can only be spat on and some sorrow can only be eased by one’s own solace.

As the saying goes ‘It is not what you do not know that hurts you, but what you know that you can do.’ Powerless simply means that you cannot act or do anything.

In this case, where you are forced to accept certain conditions in an organization, this statement is spot-on: If you can’t change it, you just can’t change it. Of course, it is preferable to pretend that you do not know, do what you should do and so at least you will be less worried. "

If everything that one does turns out to be a failure or unsatisfactory, then whether a person is aware of this or not cannot matter.

Questioning love is not about not persisting, but what can one do if one persists. I said if you are not loved, you are not loved and this certainly makes a lot of sense since denying something so basic is simply impossible.

If you can’t have a do-over, then there is no doing things over. It is better not to entangle so deeply and, at least, feel more comfortable in this case, it is better to stop in moderation.

The joke has been made if you are constantly helpless or blush red, thus your persistence has no effect at all.

It is not that some people do not care, but what can they do if they care. The penal that they receive in exchange for their heart and lungs is the wolfish heart and warm intention receives a cold shoulder. It is far preferable to be solitary than to be genuinely humble at one’s core.

For instance, if always sad or wronged, then you don’t care. Finally, the suffering will be yours.

Certain things cannot be concealed in the realm of the spirit; some feelings cannot qualify as pasion; some individuals just cannot be with each other.

This life is one which is meant to be enjoyed and should be a happy one not one of worry and suffering.

However, there are some processes to which it is enough simply to get an idea of how they work. It is about time we stop fighting, stop turning backward and stop remembering them.

Facts are facts. Let me tell you, no matter how hard you try, turn around, or recall, you can alter the end result and they are just worthless.
