Reviving Tuesday

And I did finish the sequel.

And Never Stop Dancing - 30 More True Things You Need to Know Now by Gordon Livingston.

I prefer the first book, but not it is less interesting, but this one actually touches on more complexity of human nature. He made this book sounds a lot like some sort of self-help or self-therapy than the first. I find more humour in this than the previous though, and like to quote you some of them, including some that do make some sense!


"... It might be the fault of our mothers. Either they loved us so much that no other adult can match them or they didn't love us enough so we're still children looking for that unconditional approval few spouses are willing to provide."
"... OK, that's called a mistake. One of the rules of life is that, in general, we have to pay for our mistakes. What you're feeling at the moment is your payment."
"... The marital wreckage that flows from infidelity, the unwillingness to give another person the affection we would like to receive from them, the general disparity between what we say and what we do, all contribute predictably to the demise of our closest relationships."
"...it is much more difficult to create and preserve than it is to destroy. Any eighteen-year-old can be trained in a few weeks to shoot people and blow things up efficiently. It takes a little longer to train those in the business of saving life."
"And yet, pleasure is not the absence of pain, nor is health the absence of disease. It is what we do and who we are with that makes us happy."
"... Because our desires are so powerful for what we cannot have - wealth, beauty, and unlimited happiness - we find it difficult to think logically about how to achieve the more prosaic but longer-lasting satisfactions that are available to us."
