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.

When we recognize that nothing has to go right for us to be happy, that people do not have to behave for us to love them, our walk home can be surprisingly simple. We have enormous power not to manipulate the world, but to be happy and to know peace.
Hugh Prather
Image
I can't be found in myself I discover myself in others. That much is clear. And I suspect that I also love and care for myself in others.
Hugh Prather
Image
All my life, I have made it complicated, but it is so simple. I love when I love. And when I love, I am myself.
