I’ve already kind of got one.
”You have to go with the wind, don’t try to piss into it.”
Probably more relatable for men, haha.
But basically, you can’t always get caught up with the way things should be, you have to operate within what’s being dictated to you. My girlfriend is very obsessed with like emotional and spiritual healing right now, which is great for her in the position she’s in, but she applies it to everyone. We’ll be talking about something like politics, and lamenting stupidity we perceive amongst certain folks, for example. We agree in principle, but she’ll immediately go off on this “these people are in a lot of pain, and if they just healed themselves and…” yadda yadda…. and look…. I hear ya. I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, on a psychoanalytical level you’re probably absolutely right.
But the sad reality is that most of these people who frustrate us are just not going to wake up tomorrow and have some unforced epiphany and undergo extreme personal growth emotionally and spiritually, and instead almost every last one of them is going to go to their graves staunchly defending these words and beliefs that have us shaking our heads and questioning humanity. So we can’t always just operate hoping for wholesale pie-in-the-sky changes in humankind. It’s depressing and pessimistic, but you just have to let it go or you’ll drive yourself crazy.
So when I hear people sometimes saying “yeah, but why don’t people change the way they—….”, and I’m just like “Let me stop you right there.” LmaoBeing Selfish is good thing.
Lesson taught during childhood times are not always practical or right lessons for adulthood.
Situation, rules, and reality is very much different than a simple world for children so it can't be forever right.Men are not born they are forged through the fire and the flames of life, tempered, shaped and hardened according to the struggles n strife they've gone through, difficulties they've faced and responsibilities they bear. No two alike and every single one their own.

And from this area I've in the past year, all the weirdos and drug addicts, I now understand why some people prefer dogs over humans, lolDebates are designed to persuade judges, not the opposition. Couples who make a habit of debating with the goal of proving each other wrong will likely find their missing judge in a divorce court.

The "rescue" in rescue kitten is not an adjective, it is a descriptor of what they do.
Patience is just life's way of stringing you along with hope for a life you will probably never be allowed to have.
If you haven't learned from the hardest lessons, you still have some learning to do.
The saying cheaters never prosper, doesn't mean playing by the rules will get you anywhere.
Stop and process your thoughts and emotions before you speak.
Learn to say “no”. To your friends, employer, clients… It’s tough. Takes a jua de vivre to keep you still friends, employed etc after saying “no”. BUT LEARN HOW.
