“I am here not to make you understand me, I am here to help you to understand yourself. You have to watch your own actions, your relationships, your moods more closely: how you are when you are alone, how you are when you are with people, how you behave, how you react, whether your reactions are past-oriented, fixed patterns of thought or you are spontaneous, responsible. Watch all these things, go on watching your own mind, heart. That’s what has to be understood, that is the book to be opened. You are the unopened book.” —Osho
Understanding
By Listening…
“By listening with calm and understanding, we can ease the suffering of another person.” –Thich Nhat Hanh
The Most Beautiful People…
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” ―Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Nothing In Life…
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
―Marie Curie
To Understand…
“To understand is to forgive, even oneself.” –Alexander Chase
*Excellent quote, but if you knew 3/4’s of the people I know, you’d feel the same way I do. “Not so much.” is my answer to this one.*
