Someday we'll know...

"Staying in hell because you know all the street names isn't a healthy way to live." -Anonymous

"If you accept what the culture says, it will drive you into the ground. If you build your life on it, on romance or love or success or being thin or being beautiful, you will crush every person under the weight of your expectations. And you will crush yourself under the weight of expectation. Because, there are lots of things that can come to take away your beauty, to take away whatever it may be. The only way to escape our society's idol systems is to have God's love more than anything else." -Gail Obenour

By creating these incredibly, ridiculously high expectations, you alienate yourself from the world and push people away until you are jaded, bitter, and alone. (yours truly)

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” -Teilhard de Chardin
