A long, deep sob of that mysterious, wondrous happiness that is one with pain. Laws and all forms of law are only deductions made by the intelligence from the right instincts of the people’s heart. When the law of the land is weak, it is right the law of nature should be strong. If an advocate has nothing to say for his client, what hope of carrying a cause? It is only by resenting [wrongs done to me], and by revenging them in my mind, and by angrily demanding the justice I never get, that I am able to keep my wits together. It is in my nature to do it, and I must do it. There is nothing between doing it, and sinking into the smiling state of the mad man that haunts the Court. If I was to sit down under it, I should become imbecile.  #RyanPhillippe 1 of 8

Mature affection, homage, devotion, does not easily express itself. Its voice is low. It is modest and retiring, it lies in ambush, waiting and waiting. Such is the mature fruit. Sometimes a life glides away, and finds it still ripening in the shade. You have been to my affections what light, what color is to my eyes, what music is to the inward ear; you have raised a dim unrest into a vivid consciousness. Affection sharpens the wits, and often it has made an innocent person more than a match for the wily. If there is anything real in this World, it is those amazingly fine feelings and those natural obligations which must subsist between father and son.  #RyanPhillippe 2 of 8

Grief seems more like ashes than like fire; but as grief has been love once, so it may become love again. Communication is the key to keeping any kind of relationship health. Imagine if a couple never expressed their feelings to each other, it might leave one longing for a friendship. In an increasingly complex, unpredictable World, what matters most is not IQ, willpower, or confidence in what we now. It is about how we deal with what we do not understand. There are some hidden limitations of language, but actions of another individual can also lead to ambiguity, hasty reactions, and destabilizing events. One of the cardinal aspects is to treat people as smart.  #RyanPhillippe 3 of 8

I like when you fill my imagination with little brainteasers whose solutions are flavored with comedy. It is worth pausing to reflect on how outlandishly fruitful this simple approach is. Our brains are engineered to make sense of life and it is mixed with cards(situations) that should not exist: red spades, red clubs, black hearts, and black diamonds. Reality was being skewed, dynamically constructed to align with drilled-in expectations. And when the subjects were stuck and yet still had to pretend life was perfect, they experienced the ambiguity of the trick cards as strikingly unpleasant, which gave the false impression that the subjects were unhappy with each other.  #RyanPhillippe 4 of 8

The mind has a natural tendency to continuously try to make sense of and process anomalies. A distaste for ambiguity when under pressure and the stress of the experiment made them mental conflicts caused by the trick cards unpleasant. I do not now where these people are coming from or whether they are good or bad. I am not even sure who they are. My God! And our minds fill in gaps and dissolve discrepancies, and this is how preconceptions actively distort our experiences. They are constantly creating vast swathes of information irrelevant to our goals. Our expectations and assumptions—whether generous or hopeful, pitiless or woebegone—constantly been and even ward the World we see, and can create a great blooming, buzzing confusion. #RyanPhillippe 5 of 8

However, the mind’s urge is so powerful and innate that simply by bating our habituated associations, by hinting at connections left out, we can transform daily life into captivating little puzzles. I could be standing here for hours; do you want to help? In the ordinary ways we think of love, love is not enough. The attempt to keep the relationship on a pleasant level is one of the greatest sources of ineffectual helping. If I foster only likeness and closeness, I obscure differences and distances. With likeness and closeness we establish identification—I understand you and you understand me.  Understanding or misunderstanding, agony or mirth, beginning or ending, intoxication or freedom, reunion of separation are all for love.  #RyanPhillippe 6 of 8

Although there are unexpected changes in the World and others may have their altar of happiness, I only know and I am only willing that you are my first and last love. With differences and distances we encourage identity and individuality. By reminding ourselves of differences and distances, we prevent a misuse of the relationship by both of us. With empathic caring, I provide an occasion for you to see discrepancies and contradictions and self-defeating patterns. Reality provides the context of growth. Confrontation occurs whenever I express myself one way and you see the experiences and describe the same situation in a different way. I tend to explore myself deeply when faces with discrepancies directed to my limitations rather than my strengths. It may be that I have been burdened by an overemphasis on my potential and feel a lack of substance in my strengths.  #RyanPhillippe 7 of 8

When confrontation emerges in our caring relationship, I receive it as an expression of respect for my strength as a person. If you have your arms around me, you can hit me as hard as you want without hurting me. If you do not have your arms around, the slightest brush of a feather will knock me over. You offer me present aimlessly at split second. It warms my heart, like stars at night. Your love-lit eyes are like sparkling stars, dispelling loneliness from my heart. The light of love shines on our daily life as the lightening turns the mediocre gullies and lush forests into legendary mirages. All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. So deep is my love that I am controlled by emotion instead of reason.  #RyanPhillippe 8 of 8
