@Megaaan1415 Reminds me of when kids say they don’t like a food but they haven’t even tried it. #luawl

“Grace, brothers, makes no conditions and singles out none of us in particular; grace takes us all to its bosom and proclaims general amnesty.” #LUAWL

“Let animals live like animals; let humans live like humans. That’s my whole philosophy in a sentence.” -Adiga When we confuse the two we get oppression and dehumanization of humans. #luawl

@AnnaBis40813751 Always wishing we had what we don’t have, instead of being thankful for what we do have! #luawl

@CierraENGL306 Could be compared to putting your best foot forward. We often do this by treating others better than our own families and those who love us most. #luawl

@asiangalaxygirl Kind of like how Gogol didn’t want to be like his parents in the namesake. Seems to be a common problem! #LUAWL

@AnnaBis40813751 Similar to how kids often resist their parents’ advice when they’re young, and then when they get older, they realize their parents were right and learn to appreciate their advice! #LUAWL

“being a foreigner, … is an ongoing responsibility, a parenthesis in what had once been ordinary life, only to discover that that previous life has vanished, replaced by something more complicated and demanding.” #LUAWL

[Anna Hostetler @AnnaHostetler7]

@StemSuzanne But we often romanticize it and think that it will be exactly the same way it was before!

“There are rats, giant rats! … Well-you’re better off with the rats than with the Gestapo… at least the rats won’t kill you! … And she was right. We were happy even to have these conditions.” If they can be grateful for those conditions I have nothing to complain about! #LUAWL

“He was a millionaire, but even this didn’t save him his life.” - Maus Money couldn’t save him from the horrors of war, and it is not able to save him in eternity either. #LUAWL

@CierraENGL306 They especially replace the law with themselves if they believe that there is no objective truth or moral standards, and that they can make their own truth and standards for themselves. #luawl

@hudsonrice2 The same is true of art. People think a piece of art is worth a lot of money simply because it’s painted by a famous artist. That doesn’t make it good art. #LUAWL

“The shards of memory acquired greater status, greater resonance, because they were remains; fragmentation made trivial things seem like symbols, and the mundane acquired numinous qualities.” -Rushdie #LUAWL

All cultures are capable of reflecting aspects of the goodness, beauty, and truth of the Creator; but all cultures are also tainted by sin, rebellion, alienation, and death. #LUAWL

@sarahc628 The tongue is a powerful thing!
James 3:5 “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!” #LUAWL

@AnnaBis40813751 What happens when people become bitter. Everything becomes miserable. “I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty”#LUAWL

“Quite clearly there is a strong temptation to idealize [the past]— to extol its good points and pretend that the bad never existed… We cannot pretend that our past was one long technicolor idyll.” - Achebe #LUAWL
