Quote Analysis: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" - William C. Taylor
This quote emphasizes the importance of discernment and ethical consideration before taking action. Simply having the ability or opportunity to do something does not automatically justify doing it. William C. Taylor reminds us to think critically about the consequences, morality, and necessity behind our choices. In a world driven by technological advances and endless possibilities, this perspective encourages responsibility and intentionality rather than impulsive or careless decision-making.

“Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed, because they should not be fixed.

“I was just thinking... how it is not and it will never be okay to cause pain in someone's life just because of the fact that you are envious of them! Is someone taller than you? Richer than you? More beautiful? That doesn't make it okay to hurt those people, for all you know, they bear deep wounds and carry heavy burdens and their heartache is far greater than anything you could ever bear! People try to hurt people that they're envious of, without knowing that they are adding to what is already painful. And because someone has more than you or has what it is that you want, doesn't mean that they owe you anything! It's not their fault! Be careful, you may just be wounding an angel soul, and a wound inflicted upon an angel soul, will always, always come back to haunt- YOU.”
“Maybe we shouldn't be looking for love. Maybe we should be looking for a person. Because maybe you can find love in a person, but not have that person. So if you look for love, what you will find is love. But if you want to belong to someone, and you want someone to belong to you, you should look for a person.”
