Quote

Show, not tell, right? Action, not words. You don’t want to hear how sorry I am or how things will be different this time. You want to see it with your own eyes. And until I can show you that, you won’t tell me what I want to hear.

People try to make sense of things, and if they don’t know the answers, they make them up,because for some, a wrong answer is better than none.
