Proverbs

This will be a continuously growing list as long as this blog remains up and I continue to find insights about life. To me, poetry is compact philosophy, and proverbs are compact poetry. I hope you, the reader, can find some wisdom here. (As far as I am aware, most or all of these are original, though there are likely similar phrases throughout the internet. Wisdom doesn't change.)



- Never justify your existence through someone else. Live for others, but do not make others your reason to live.

- Apologize once if they demand you to; apologize once and make it up to them double if they forgive you first; if they make you apologize more than once, they do not deserve any apologies.

- If there is no right way to do something, then there is no wrong way either.

- Assuming you are always right is the shortest path to being wrong.

- People who claim to know what life is about are probably the most unsure.

- "They" and "us" are the most divisive words in the English language.

- Apathy is contagious.

-  Just because you do not like something does not mean someone else should be prohibited from it.

- Being comfortable in silence is being comfortable with yourself.

- Changing yourself starts and ends with you. Others may affect you, but only you can change who you are.

- You are over something only when you stop using it as an excuse.

- Anyone who said there is no such thing as a stupid question has never worked customer service.

- If all things are worthless, then all things are equally worth doing. True nihilism is optimism.
