Be the kind of person with whom you want to spend all your time because, in reality, you don’t have the choice of an away day. You have to live with yourself all the time.

If you were given a life sentence for committing a crime, it would seem like a long time. However, when you look back on your life, it seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. It’s for that reason that you should pay as much attention as possible to each moment of your life because if you don’t, it will disappear before your eyes.
Everything is relative. What did you do today?

That’s right, you don’t need to forgive anyone except yourself, and if you try to forgive people (including yourself) who you don’t believe deserve your forgiveness, then you could be causing trouble for yourself down the road.
You see, forgiveness is often portrayed as a liberating act, but if it feels forced or insincere, it can lead to internal dichotomy rather than healing. True forgiveness typically requires a shift in perspective, where you come to understand why forgiveness is beneficial—not necessarily because the other person “deserves” it, but because it allows you to let go of resentment and regain peace.
In situations where you genuinely feel someone doesn’t deserve forgiveness, it might help to focus on accepting them for who they are without condoning their actions. This way, you can prioritize your well-being without compromising your sense of justice or self-respect.
One last word.
You’ve got to accept that we live on a planet of saints and sinners, and everyone in-between.

In order to answer that question, you need to know what a normal person is. If you know, please leave a description in the comments section because I, for one, haven’t got a clue as to what normal person would be.
The reason I don’t know what normal consists of is because I know that each and every person’s behaviour is based on the interaction between their reasoning, emotion, perception, and self-awareness. That means that if you apply a scale of ten to each category and do the maths, then the world’s population can be broken down to groups of eight hundred thousand.
In my case, there are approximately 5 million people on the island of Ireland, so that means there could be six people on the island with identical personalities. However, that doesn’t mean that they’re normal. It just means that they are the same. They could be lunatics for all I know.
If you were to ask everyone you know if they’re normal, how many will answer yes or no. And, do you think knowing those answers will bring you any closer to understanding what normal is? Didn’t think so. Probably for the same reason as myself. I know quite a few people who think of themselves as normal.
In conclusion, you can’t label people. You can only accept them as they are because everyone and no one is normal from someone else’s perspective.
Remember, what’s normal to the spider is chaos to the fly.

People can learn to love emotional pain so much that they refuse to let it go. You see, anger, stress, grief, and fear become part of their identity (It’s the victim mentality). However, people need to be careful because emotional pain can become physical pain if they don’t make peace with their emotions.
This phenomenon is known as the mind-body connection. Stress from unresolved emotions can activate the body’s fight-or-flight response, leading to prolonged muscle tension, inflammation, or even conditions like migraines, digestive issues, or chronic fatigue.
Over time, the unprocessed emotional burden becomes like a weight the body carries, causing physical symptoms.
Making peace with emotions—through expression, therapy, mindfulness, or other healing practices—can help release this tension and bring both emotional and physical relief. It’s a reminder that healing the mind is often key to healing the body.
