One of Satan's goal is to destroy your ability to love people because that's what makes you like Jesus the most. That's why he attacks your forgiveness, your patience and your compassion. Because when you stop loving people, you stop reflecting Jesus. Guard your heart and continue loving
You really have to love yourself more than anyone else and it is not selfish to do so yet at the same time understand that love is also a concept of you before me. It’s a beautiful balance, and what I think is a fundamental concept to understand.
@Tim_Denning “You’re” a psychopath, YOU are a psychopath. The bar is so high that YOU are a psychopath. Which means the bar applies only to YOURSELF, the bar doesn’t rely on someone else’s actions.
@omgsidewalks I think you’re looking and identifying yourself within a certain bracket population of people and you can’t help but feel that way. Don’t identify and find meaning through people in the wrong bracket as you. If that makes any sense
Truly, nothing worth having is easy, and nothing beautiful can always stay as it is. Something worth having requires true dedication, and something beautiful requires special maintenance and care.
one of my old psychiatrist's absolute greatest hits: the closer someone is to you, the more you treat them as you treat yourself. it's as though they eventually enter the sphere of your inner world.
we have to stop being cruel to ourselves or we will be cruel to others, in time. i don't make the rules and i don't obey them and my loved ones have paid the price.
a regulated nervous system isn't quiet. it's responsive. it laughs loud in restaurants. it cries at commercials. it gets a full body chill from a song it hasn't heard in years. people mistake numbness for peace because numbness is easier to manage. but real peace has a pulse. it moves through you instead of around you.
Being human means being born with the same capabilities, if or when someone or society makes you seem like you’re not capable or that you’re not accepted, then just know they don’t know what they are talking about and are lost theirselves in a false reality.
