Copy quote

Sense and sensibility

Understanding

It's ok to understand other people. But it's not enough. Advertence is necessary too. Because it's easy to understand abstract person if you're not a victim but outside observer. Imagine you say to friend who needs your help: "I understand the man who stole from you because he was starved". Or that: "I understand that scumbag who raped you because his wife ran out on him and he wanted to blow off steam". Only most hard-hearted person can say that.

When people say it's nobody's fault, they don't mean that. They mean it's your fault! The nobody's fault things are...hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, acts of God! But when a marriage fails, it's gotta be somebody's fault!

I've always felt no matter what we were going through no matter how painful things got if our feet found each other under the blankets even just the slightest connection it'd tell us we'd entered the demilitarized zone that we were gonna be okay, that we were still an "us."
