And none of it will have anything to do with you.
*** So true. This struck a chord deep within me. When we love or hate someone, it is a choice we make as an individual. When we make this choice, what the subject of our love does often is just a part of it. So in turn, people may love us or not... but we cannot force or compel them to do either. They choose their reaction to us.
Another quote I recently got via Twitter was "When you judge another, you do not define them-- you define yourself". It relates to the first quote. We cannot choose how others behave, but we can choose our reactions and judgements. Perhaps just the suspension of judgement allows us to evolve a little more.
Think on. Keep questioning. Find that inner you.
