- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most of us believe that we have
been betrayed by someone outside of us -
in other words someone has done something to hurt us,
been dishonest or broken a promise made:
some trust in some concept was broken.
Indeed someone may have taken an action
that took only their needs into consideration,
they may have not followed through on a promise made,
and they may have not told you the truth.
But their actions have nothing to do with you
and have everything to do with them.
That's why no one can do anything TO you.
They can take actions that involve you that you may not like -
according to your point of view.
But you are not a victim, no way, no how.
- Sheri Rosenthal

and evokes resentment rather than gratitude
on the part of the recipient.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Guilt says I've done something wrong;
... shame says there is something wrong with me.

... shame says I am no good.
- John Bradshaw

People who say it cannot be done should not
interrupt those who are doing it.

the consequences of your actions,

of having done the thing before.

If you can speak what you will never hear,
if you can write what you will never read,
you have done rare things.
