Quotes General Works (2024) Hate is a cry for love Often times, the death of old friendships is framed through the lens of failure. It may actually be a sign of your growth and recognition of old relationships holding you back. Not all friendships are supposed to last a lifetime. When we’re willing to face, process and heal from our trauma, we often reveal the hidden gifts and learnings concealed within the darkness. When we avoid trauma, we relive it continuously. The things you notice and judge in others are mirrors to the things you notice and judge within yourself. People may do things that can trigger certain emotion, but the processing, decision-making and power lies within you. You have more power than you may sometimes realise. As soon as you release the conditioning that our parents are ethereal, god-like and faultless beings, you are able to acknowledge that their flaws and treatment of you is reflective of them and not of you. You will save so much time and energy the moment that you realise you have nothing to prove and that the judgement you receive from others isn’t yours to hold on to. If you think that happiness is all about driving a nice car or living in a big house, I’m afraid to say that you’ll never be happy. The mistake in the pursuit of happiness is to attach it conditionally to superficial, material objects.
