To fight against these falsehoods, though, one needed to be able to see past the present-day and very male-oriented distortion lens to the underlying truth.

With other women, he had seen the embers of passion but never the flame. Tonight, he had witnessed the bonfire.

Then she will marry the man whom she is currently trying to find both online and in real life, the man with the smile lines and the dog and/or cat, the man with an interesting surname that she can double-barrel with Jones, the man who earns the same as or more than her, the man who likes hugs more than sex and has nice shoes and beautiful skin and no tattoos and a lovely mum and attractive feet. The man who is at least five feet ten, but preferably five feet eleven or over. The man who has no baggage and a good car and a suggestion of abdominal definition although a flat stomach would suffice. This man has yet to materialize and Libby is aware that she is possibly a little over-proscriptive.

How wide the gulf between Henry as he was and Henry as Helen thought he ought to be! And she herself—hovering as usual between the two, now accepting men as they are, now yearning with her sister for Truth. Love and Truth—their warfare seems eternal. Perhaps the whole visible world rests on it, and if they were one, life itself, like the spirits when Prospero was reconciled to his brother, might vanish into air, into thin air.

The trouble with you, Charles, is that basically you despise women, whereas I, in spite of some appearances to the contrary, do not." "I don't despise women. I was in love with all Shakespeare's heroines before I was twelve." "But they don't exist, dear man, that's the point. They live in the never-never land of art, all tricked out in Shakespeare's wit and wisdom, and mock us from there, filling us with false hopes and empty dreams.

I couldn't understand; cheating was the one thing I'd told her all those years ago would be unforgivable. She knew, she said, but that was part of what had been confusing her, that I would even have told her that, as if she weren't an actual human being with the freedom to act, but some character in a scenario in my head. There was a quality I had of making the people closest to me feel lonely, somehow. Some essential cold withholding at the core of myself.

He thought that the civil servants employed in one department were one big, happy family, concerned about one another's peace and pleasure; that going to the office was not by any means a duty that must be performed day in and day out, and that rainy weather, heat, or a mere disinclination could always be given as a legitimate excuse for not going to the office. One can easily imagine his disappointment when he discovered that nothing short of an earthquake could prevent a civil servant who was in good health from turning up at his office.

At times we do crazy things. They make no sense. It reminds me of the definition of insanity, which is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. People credit that to Einstein. I think it is true. I think people are painfully ignorant of how much they do the same thing but expect different results. Maybe willfully ignorant? However, this is a good thing. We are naturally created to do the same thing over and over. That is called consistency. My goal is to align our natural tendency with the ideas in this book, causing an adjustment to our actions which will produce a more propitious “same result”.

telling me not all men have bad intentions doesn’t do anything to reassure me. after i walk away from you, nothing will have changed. i will still be scared to leave my house after sundown, i will still find comfort in keys resting between fingers, i will still question the intentions of every man i know, i will still wonder when i am to become a story meant to warn other people’s daughters, & i will still cry when i turn on the television to find yet another man getting away with well— what they always seem to get away with. i am not the one who has to change the way i think or the way i act. they are. - expectations vs. reality.

When you exceed expectations day in and day out, it’s not only fantastic for others, it says a lot about you.

We can't possibly know—and thank goodness not! What most of us become as adults would terrify us as children.

One unexpected hint comes from patients with a strange disorder called anosognosia, a condition in which people seem unaware of or deny their disability. Most patients with a right-hemisphere stroke have complete paralysis of the left side of their body and, as you might expect, complain about it. But about one in twenty of them will vehemently deny their paralysis even though they are mentally otherwise lucid and intelligent. For example, President Woodrow Wilson, whose left side was paralyzed by a stroke in 1919, insisted that he was perfectly fine. Despite the clouding of his thought processes and against all advice, he remained in office, making elaborate travel plans and major decisions pertaining to American involvement in the League of Nations. In 1996 some colleagues and I made our own little investigation of anosognosia and noticed something new and amazing: Some of these patients not only denied their own paralysis, but also denied the paralysis of another patient—and let me assure you, the second patient’s inability to move was as clear as day. Denying one’s own paralysis is odd enough, but why deny another patient’s paralysis? We suggest that this bizarre observation is best understood in terms of damage to Rizzolatti’s mirror neurons. It’s as if anytime you want to make a judgment about someone else’s movements, you have to run a virtual-reality simulation of the corresponding movements in your own brain. And without mirror neurons you cannot do this.

Kind people always seem to suffer the most.

Slapping someone in real life is not like slapping someone in the movies. There is no victory or empowerment or dramatic romantic tension in it. A slap in real life just leaves your fingers burning and the lingering truth that something is irreversibly wrong.

Soon our culture's oldest dreams will be made real. Even the thought of sending a kind of flying craft to the moon is no longer nothing more than a child's fantasy. At this moment in the cities below us, the first mechanical men are being constructed that will have the capability to pilot the ship on its maiden voyage. But no one has asked if this dream we've had for so long will lose its value once it's realized. What will happen when those mechanical men step out of their ship and onto the surface of this moon, which has served humanity for thousands of years as our principal icon of love and madness? When they touch their hands to the ground and perform their relentless analyses and find no measurable miracles, but a dead gray world of rocks and dust? When they discover that it was the strength of millions of boyhood daydreams that kept the moon aloft, and that without them that murdered world will fall, spiraling slowly down and crashing into the open sea?

Whenever men expect reality to conform to their wish simply because it is their wish, they are doomed to metaphysical disappointment. This leads them to the dichotomy: my dream vs. the actual which thwarts it; or the inner vs. the outer; or value vs. fact; or the moral vs. the practical. The broadest name of the dichotomy is the “spiritual” realm vs. the “material” realm.

Reading is always an investment a writer makes to earn returns out of his own writing.

Remind yourself that you can take neither the full credit nor blame for the outcomes in your life. There is always a factor of randomness involved. However, you should try your best, be proactive, and strive toward having a sense of control in life.

Measure your expectations of where someone is and not where you are.

If there are certain moments when I question the value of travel writing, I also know that it's important for the traveler to eventually return to where he or she came from, to write and try to capture the experience of being an outsider in an unfamiliar place. Yes, much of travel writing is soulless and transactional, listicles and charticles and "if you go" tips. Yet as its most ideal, the worth of the genre lies in exploring the tensions of our interior journey vs. our exterior itinerary, in examining our expectations (and hopes and biases) of a destination vs. the reality of of what we found, and in measuring the person we are at home vs. the person we become abroad.

We expect people to behave in a particular way, and then get upset when they don’t. We then blame that unhappy feeling on them, when the actual cause was our own expectation.

Dear love, what you expect from me is my expectation from you.

23. I come from a worried people. These people worry and are overly cautious. The worried people are very suggestive and read the side effects on every medication to make sure they experience all of them, even the side effects experienced by the placebo people. If it only happens in males, my female people will figure out a way to have that side effect, too. My people worry out of love, though.

Scale the shifting tower of coin and what awaits may change from the breathtaking vista of your expectations into terrifying vertigo.

Top 12 Best Sites to Buy Old Gmail Accounts in Bulk (PVA &Old) Contact Us WhatsApp: +1 215-510-3542 Telegram: @usatopbuy Email: usatopbuy@gmail.com Buy Old Gmail Accounts — Risks, Reality, and Safe Alternatives ## 1. Introduction: What's the fuss about “old Gmail accounts”? People often think older email accounts are like vintage wine — more valuable just because they’ve aged. That belief has spawned a market and lots of questions: “Can I buy an old Gmail to improve deliverability?”, “Will an aged account boost trust?” This article unpacks the truth, the risks, and the legal and safe alternatives. We'll keep it simple, friendly, and practical. ## 2. What people mean by “old” or “aged” Gmail accounts When someone says “old Gmail account” they usually mean an account that’s been active for years. But age alone doesn’t equal quality. Let’s break it down: ### Account age vs. account health Account age = number of years since creation. Account health = whether the account has been used responsibly, has real engagement, and has not been flagged for spam or abuse. Age without health is meaningless — like an old car with no engine. ### Common uses people expect from aged accounts Better email deliverability when sending campaigns. Higher perceived trust when contacting recipients. Bypassing verification hurdles or appearing more “established.” Many of these expectations sound sensible on the surface — but they can be wrong or risky in practice. | | ## 3. Why some people want to buy old Gmail accounts People are drawn to the idea of a “ready-made” reputation. Here are the usual reasons: ### Perceived benefits (deliverability, trust, legacy data) Deliverability: Some think older accounts avoid spam filters. Trust: An older-sounding address might feel more credible to recipients. Legacy data: Sometimes people want accounts that have contact history or archived emails
