| .etc. anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. but to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. have courage for the great sorrows in life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily tasks, go to sleep in peace. god is awake. i believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. and that no one knows the truth. lying is bad, or so we're told constantly from birth. honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, i chopped down the cherry tree. whatever. the fact is lying is a necessity. we lie to ourselves because the truth, the truth freaking hurts. [grey's anatomy] maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. most people think strength is holding on but sometimes... it's letting go. never apologize for showing feeling. when you do so, you apologize for the truth. no matter how hard we try to ignore it or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, whether we like it or not. but here's the truth about the truth: it hurts. so, we lie. [grey's anatomy] regardless of how we rationalize things, there is always a right and a wrong. true strength is doing the right thing even when everyone is against you. don't break for anyone.
