“Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” Joanne Kathleen Rowling
“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”
Carl Gustav
“Love is saying 'I feel differently' instead of 'You're wrong.'”
These are me and some friends at my friend Andrea's birthday party. This was two weeks ago I believe. Because we did not have birthday candles, we had to use a Zippo lighter as the candle. We nearly burned the cake up. It was a good time.
The quotes I think are interesting. I think what we know of people is really just the tip of the iceberg of who they are. And what can we know if all we do is look at the condensation we see? Even if we wouldn't make the same decisions, we can at least try to look deep and see something in that person....Just think about it. Do we judge without understanding or listening or really seeing?

it is true that what you see of other people is just the tip of the iceberg...because otherwise you are really talking about very shallow people...... it is also true that what you see in a person is your view of that person and that person may have their own perceptions of the situations and justification for their actions which they may not see the need to explain to others. At the end of the day it is YOU that has to live with yourself and the consequences of your actions.
I am not sure who anonymous is, but I could really not have put it better myself. It is nice, however, at the end of the day when you are having to live with consequences of your actions to know that someone will love you regardless of them.
