At the end of the day it's only being at peace with yourself that counts. You are the only one who was there throughout your life. You are the only one who truly knows what was said, what was experienced and what was seen. Nobody else could ever know.
As Robert M Pirsig said:
"And what is good Phaedrus,
And what is not good -
Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?"

From self-help books you will find "A crisis provides an opportunity for change and growth as well as a danger of regression or stagnation".
ReplyDeleteIt is for you and Phaedrus to decide what is best for you.

I like that book and I can really relate to the main character and Phaedrus.
