Best Lines from Movies

That I resonate with well or that makes me think.

“Mostly, it’s loss which teaches us about the worth of things.“- Arthur Schopenhauer From a TV Show [demn it I forgot to put the title and now I can’t remember where I heard this from, but really relate to this when I lost my little brother and then when I realized I had lost someone else and it was the end]

“When you fight monsters, you risk becoming one too.” – “Who Were We Running From” (March 2023) [I once had a coworker I always felt unsafe being around. Mentally, I always had to fight her ways so as I don’t end up becoming like her but then through the years I have been doing so, I have developed a different kind of monster in me.]

“Lies are a form of LOVE.” “Lies are the best way to protect ourselves.” (Ai, “Oshi No Oko”, June 2023) [Taking it from the perspective of the people who lied to me, I finally understand that lies are sometimes justifiable and necessary.]

“Romance that consumes you never goes well. Rest stop on the side of the road, a relaxing place where you can stop by. That’s where you’ll find true love.” (“An Incurable Case of Love/Love Will Lasts Forever”, August 2024)

How Fragile We Are

We are constantly reminded of how trivial we are, how fragile and negligible our goose bumps seem compared to the magic of the bangs and whispers of the universe when it collides within itself. Like a jaded generation we have been taught to write ourselves off, to commit our shallow meanings to losing and finding ourselves alone, to shutting down and shutting out bitter hearts while staying awake in the depth of the night just crying to hold on a place where I can see the turn of the world and I am not afraid because I am reminded of the enchantment and the passion we shared, the ruthless dedication we made to devouring each other whole.

Joyce Meyer’s “The Woman in the House”

Mom and dad were watching TV when mom said “I’m tired and it’s getting late and I think I’ll go to bed.” She got up, went to the kitchen, make sandwiches for the next days lunches, rinse out the dessert bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the serial box levers, filled the sugar container, put spoons in the bowls, put bowls on the table, started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning, put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes in the washer, ironed the shirt, sewed on several loose buttons picked up the game pieces left on the table, put telephone book back in the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket, hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk, wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for a school outing pulled out a textbook from under the chair signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope, wrote a quick list for the supermarket the next day. She went and put both those in her purse. Mom then creamed her face put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth, trimmed her nails. Hubby called, “I thought you were going to bed.” “I’m on my way she said.” She put some water into the dog’s bowl, put the cat outside, made sure the doors were locked, took looked in on each one of the children, turned on a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks in the laundry basket, had a brief conversation with the one child still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack, added three things to her to-do list for the next day. About that time, the husband turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular, “I’m going to bed.” and he did.

“The details that women take care of and keep up with to run a house, you men, you have no idea what God has given you. You just have no idea.” —Joyce Meyer

BETWEEN SOMEWHERE and NOWHERE

Stuck between somewhere and nowhere, struggling, yet still breathing

Would you scream “HELP” when you know no one is coming?

I say, “Don’t! Save your strength. Hang in there and if you must, you crawl and survive, okay? Save your strength. No one is coming yet you have to get through.”

LEFT WANDERING ALONE

Here’s comes the bride

Then, in the middle of her stride, she came to a halt

Flashes of worries and questions never asked came running through her veins

Then, the groom felt the depth of her fears, the doubts in her silence, the coldness in her stare

Turning icy cold, she slowly wanted to freeze away

Yet there she was, being left wandering alone

There’s no need for her to melt away, the winter had been felt

And had soon turned the groom into the running ice monster everyone sees him that night

Now, alone she goes, alone she wanders, alone, should she wander ever again

BETWEEN THE LINES OF LIFE

Sometimes I forget that we are all just living BETWEEN THE LINES OF LIFE—between the aches and the joys, between what is happy and what is sad within us. Sometimes I forget that I am not alone in that, for no one lives in either extreme – in perpetual bliss or perpetual sorrow. We are all just playing with darkness and light, we are all just trying to find our harmony.

Dealing with Manipulation

Oh boy, oh boy! One thing about manipulation is everyone is capable of doing it and I am always avoiding it, if it is not win-win, but dang I think I almost did it to a guy for my own benefit😆

Anyway, I enjoyed this article from Banter Republic. Hope you have a great day after reading this, too.

I find it manipulative that our angry side is always seen as our „true colours” as if when we are happy and being kind we are fake. You could be the …

Best things a mother said to her daughter about her cheating husband

Daughter: (breaks down days after witnessing his father with another woman) How can dad do this to us? You and I were so happy. Was he not?

Mother: It’s not like that.

Daughter: Then, what is it?

Mother: You’ll understand when you grow up.

Daughter: I don’t want to. I’m dumbfounded every time I think about it. Is this why you couldn’t speak? (Her mother became temporarily mute after finding out her perfect husband was having an affair)

After calming down…

Daughter: I just suddenly got emotional

Mother: This is the very first hardship you must face. You’ll encounter more unbelievable events in your life until you die. It’s inevitable. I said there are those who break down and those who overcome them. If you think about it, it may not be that big of a deal. But for the weak, their entire world may be falling apart. Is your world falling apart?

Daughter: No. All I need is you. And you have me.

Mother: Thank you. Every time I look at you, I’m glad I married your dad. Thanks to him I have you by my side. You win some, you lose some. It goes both ways. That’s the way life works.

Daughter: Don’t worry.

Mother: Your dad was a great dad who made one mistake. Should we resent, hurt, and punish him for that one mistake? Only small-minded people believe in “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Those with a big heart just accept things for what they are. In that sense, I don’t have that big of a heart. I admit it.

Daughter: Then, how big is it?

Mother: It’s smaller than a small dish.

Daughter: Your heart is as big as a washbowl. Is it true that that she (the mistress) calls you by your first name? (calling someone by their first name without honorifics anymore means you are close)

Mother: Yes, I didn’t tell her to.

Daughter: But you didn’t tell her off?

Mother: No.

Daughter: Why?

Mother: Well, a part of me felt bad for her.

Daughter: Why?

Mother: Falling in love isn’t something you can’t control. You can’t help it.

Daughter: Still, it was wrong of her. That’s how it is depicted in the movies.

Mother: It’s fine as long as we don’t do that. Always stay true to yourself. We can never be sure of what’ll happen in the future. Doing so will only prove our arrogance. Just remember this.

UNTIL YOU LEFT

I never believed in ghosts until you left, for I could not see you, but I could still feel you. No, I never believed in ghosts until I loved one. xvi

Joel Osteen’s Jokes “Couple’s 60th Birthday Wishes”

I heard about this husband and wife. They were celebrating their 60th birthday together when tan angel suddenly appeared and said that God is going to grant each one special request. The wife said, ” My request is that we will be able to travel all around the world.” And poof! When the smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand. The husband put his head down and said, ” MY request is that I’d be married to a woman 30 years younger than me. And poof! when the smoke cleared he was 90 years old. –How Bad Do You Want It?, Joel Osteen
