Think outside of the box
1. "If you can look into the seeds of time, and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then to me." Macbeth, William Shakespeare.
I hear nothing but silence.
2. Memories are bullets. Some whiz by and only spook you. Others tear you open and leave you in pieces.." Kill the Dead, Richard Kadrey
Are you spooked or torn to pieces by your memories?
Did you know that both scientists and memory experts have concluded that your memory is not only faulty but utterly unreliable?
Worst than being spooked about the past is being spooked and left into pieces about an utterly unreliable past.
3. Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by/And that has made all the difference." The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost
Unfortunately, most people take the same old road. They think the same old things. They say the same old words. They approach situations the same old way.
There's another road named "all the difference", if you're unhappy I'd venture down that road just to see how it is.
4. "Every human is a school subject. This is rather a metaphorical way of saying it, to put it straight, those you love are few, and the ones you detest are many." Michael Bassey Johnson
Ego's way - love few - detest many.
God's way - Love all - Detest no one.
5. Fear is a beast that feeds on attention.
Fear is the antithesis to love.
Don't feed the beast or you'll end up with "Sasquatch"
6. Beauty is a fading flower.
Beauty is not you. It's not who or what you are.
Beauty is the last thing that matters.
Beauty is a constantly declining creature.
7. This is music to my ears.
Cacophony - a harsh discordant mixture of sounds. This doesn't have to be music to your ears.
Redefine what you call music. If it's not rooted in peace, love, and happiness it's noise, not music.
8. He's blowing off steam.
On what planet has relieving one's pent-up feelings by loud talk or vigorous activity ever worked?
9. Love is a battlefield vs Love is a fine wine.
Love can't be both. One has to be a lie. No wonder love has such a tarnished name.
10. You are the light in my life vs She a thorn in my side.
She can't be the thorn and the light. No wonder she's confused.
11. He has the heart of a lion vs Am I talking to a brick wall.
I've never seen a brick wall with a heart.
