“People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.”   —   Soren Kierkegaard

(Pretty deep!  Too many people speak without thinking.  And, too many also think only what they’re told, and don’t really think for themselves.  That’s the trouble with indoctrination.  And propaganda.  We all love the idea of free will, but so much of what we think/believe has been ingrained in us, from birth . . . to today.  Tough for many to overcome.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Don’t forget to love yourself.”   —   Soren Kierkegaard

 

Søren Kierkegaard (Copenhague) (Photo credit: dalbera)

(The way this was laid out in my newspaper, I thought there was some kind of screw up, and I was looking at a partial quote.  One line, followed by what looks like six blank lines.  Then a period, the hyphen and the author cipher, all on the last line.  Despite all this, it was a simple solve.  It’s a simple, yet important, message though.  We tend to get all caught up in relationships and issues, big and small, but very often lose sight of our selves.  We’re not expected to love ourselves above all else, or above all others.  But, in order to really love anything effectively we have to start by loving ourself.  Give yourself a break.  Forgive yourself.  Love yourself.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
