Birthday Wish

I wrote Birthday Wish on February 21, 2010 ... a clear indication of how bad I was doing. I stopped entering in that blog and went back to my obituary in progress journal. Mostly just quoting Criminal Minds.

I didn't have the heart to write, I let the quotes speak for me.

From Criminal Minds:

 “Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.” … Nietzsche

“Within the core of each of us is the child we once were. This child constitutes the foundation of the what we have become, who we are, and what we will be.” …Neuroscientist Dr. R Joseph

“There is no formula for success, except perhaps for an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.” …Arthur Rubenstein

From In Plain Sight:  “We all live in hiding. In one way or another each of us conceals pieces of ourselves from the rest of the world. Some people hide because their lives depend upon it, others because they don’t like being seen, and then there are other special cases, the ones that hide because, because, because they just want someone to care enough to look for them.”

From Criminal Minds:

 “Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable.” … Shakespeare

 “The irrationality of a thing is not an argument against its existence but rather a condition of it.” … Nietzsche

found on internet:

“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. “… Nietzsche 

“Whoever despises himself nonetheless respects himself as one who despises. “… Nietzsche

this next quote made me laugh out loud:

“A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation. “… Nietzsche

From Criminal Minds:

“Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.” … Robert Kennedy

“Live as is you were going to die tomorrow. Die as if you were going to live forever.” Ghandi

“In order to learn the important lessons in life one must each day surmount a fear” … Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or the others crazy?” … Albert Einstein

“Let your heart feel for the affliction and distress of everyone.” … George Washington

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” … Eleanor Roosevelt

“Nothing is easier than denouncing the evildoer; nothing more difficult than understanding him.” ... Dostoevsky

“Between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act falls the shadow.” … T.S. Elliot

“The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.” … Harriet Beecher Stowe

You needn't ever feel sad over my death, because the pain will have ended. Anywhere else is a better place.
