Day 05 | Your favourite quote

Holy fuck I was not looking forward to this.

Ok, my icon is one of my favorite quotes. But out of context I don't think it makes a ton of sense (Although I'm biased because I HAVE the context). Does it?

The second is, and this is not a perfect quote, and I forgot who's quote it IS but:

"No matter what you see, the universe is going exactly as it should."

Which is sorta my mentality. When life is going badly, I just close my eyes and remember that even if *I* can't see it, even if my life gets TOTALLY screwed, the universe is bigger then me. I don't believe God has a plan laid out for every person to be happy, obviously, but I believe on a larger scale existence is meant to go benevolently.

I also have NO idea how large a scale it is. So if we get pulverized tomorrow by a meteor...obviously larger then earth.

AND last is the big huge quote in my userinfo. It's a character I actually pretty thoroughly dislike in American Gods (I don't care enough to hate her, but she struck me as a total trying to hard tool), but the quote I relate to a lot. Go figure.

Also, does anyone know how to access the "My dictionary" on firefox? Cause if not, you will never see me spell exactly right again.

Also, I love "The thief is not sorry he is a thief, but sorry to have been caught."

I like all of them, but the last one rings true about a common thing I have to explain over here, as to why Americans apologize so much. We're trained to apologize as children, and some of the time, we're only apologizing that someone caught us doing it! I mean, if we didn't want to do it, then we wouldn't do it, so why be sorry for something you did? xD *hugs*

I'm pretty sure it is well rooting in Buddhist idealogy. The universe is inherently good and as it should be kinda thing.
