If people thought of their potential romantic relationships as potential sources of chaos and disorder, I think they'd be a lot more hesitant about what kinds of people they get involved with.
Most people are lying to themselves, although they think they're telling the truth. I'm no different, which is why I listen to my mother, especially when she tells me things about myself that make me angry. That's usually a good indication that she perceives something about me that I'd prefer not to acknowledge.
People very often don't want you to speak your honest opinion about them. What they want, fundamentally, is to have their comforting lies repeated back to them.
The historical forces that shaped a person's life don't absolve them of the responsibility of getting to their job on time or doing their work competently.
Even if people don't have free will, we treat them like they do, although we make excuses for ourselves and hope that other people will be taken in by the con we perpetrate on ourselves.
My favorite people are the ones who aren't afraid to discuss the things that are really important, their hopes, dreams, and fears. They are so much more interesting than people who can only talk about mundane out of fear of being vulnerable.
