A medical man likes to make psychological observations, and sometimes in the pursuit of such studies is too easily tempted into momentous prophecy which life and death easily set at nought.

humansofnewyork:

“Saddest moment? How am I supposed to choose between losing my parents and seeing my friends die in Vietnam? I don’t categorize those things. Listen, a person is like a rubber band ball. We’ve all got a lot of bad rubber bands, and a lot of good rubber bands, and they’re all wrapped up together. And you’ve got to have both types of bands or your rubber band ball ain’t gonna bounce. And no use trying to untangle them. You know what I’m saying?”

Don’t take life too seriously.  Although we all have responsibilities there’s no reason why we can’t approach much of our lives in a playful manner.  In fact, those who do so will undoubtedly be happier.

QUOTE of the WEEK

socialrugrats:

Give me patience when little hands
Tug at me with ceaseless, small demands
Give me gentle words and smiling eyes, 
To keep my lips from hasty, sharp replies. 
Let not fatigue, confusion or noise
Obscure my vision of life’s fleeting joys
So when in years to come my house is still, 
Beautiful memories its room may fill. 
~Unknown
