merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.

Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed,
for if you merely offend them, they take vengeance,

so that the injury done to a man
ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.

Each of us is burdened by an unlimited number of
expectations (demands) that we hold for the actions of others.
We "know" that there is a right way to do things,

Usually, we are unaware that we merely
have a strong opinion and point-of-view,
and are sure that we know how everything is supposed to be.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

the oldest problem in the relations between human beings,

Training - training is everything; training is all there is to a person.
We speak of nature; it is folly; there is no such thing as nature;
what we call by that misleading name is merely heredity and training.
We have no thoughts of our own, no opinions of our own;
they are transmitted to us, trained into us.
All that is original in us, and therefore fairly creditable
or discreditable to us, can be covered up and hidden
by the point of a cambric needle, all the rest being atoms
contributed by, and inherited from, a procession of ancestors
that stretches back a billion years to the Adam-clam
or grasshopper or monkey from whom our race has been
so tediously and ostentatiously and unprofitably developed.
And as for me, all that I think about in this plodding sad pilgrimage,
this pathetic drift between the eternities,
is to look out and humbly live a pure and high and blameless life,
and save that one microscopic atom in me that is truly me:
the rest may land in Sheol and welcome for all I care.
- Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

"I love you just the way you are."

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.

A well-developed sense of humor
is the pole that adds balance to your steps,
as you walk the tightrope of life.

self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Thank you, that would suffice.
