“I thought my heart was pure. We do like to have such good opinions of our own motives when we're about to do something harmful, to someone else.”
“Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.”
“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”
“If everyone waited to do something good until they had purely unselfish motivations, no good would ever get done in the world. The point is to do it anyway.”
“we cant wait for someone else to do it, we have to take matters into our own hands or it will never be done.”
“When someone wrongs us, we rarely (if ever) want to do the same thing back. Why? Because we want to do something more harmful. Likewise, when someone insults us, our instinct is to search for words that will be more insulting.Revenge always escalates.”
