Most words evolved as a description of the outside world, hence their inadequacy to describe what is going on inside me.

When someone disagrees with me, I do not have to immediately start revising what I just said. People don't want me to always agree with them. They can sense this is phony. They can sense I am trying to control them: I am agreeing with them to make them like me. They feel; "I don't want to exist to like you. I DON'T exist to like you."

To live for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration. My only sure reward is in my actions and not from them.

Don't strive for love, be it.

True humor is fun - it does not put down, kid, or mock. It makes people feel wonderful, not separate, different, and cut off. True humor has beneath it the understanding that we are all in this together.

I don't need a "reason" to be happy. I don't have to consult the future to know how happy I feel now.

I live now and only now, and I will do what I want to do this moment and not what I decided was best for me yesterday.
