“So few people really are aware of their thoughts. Their minds run all over the place without their permission, and they go along for the ride unknowingly and without making a choice. Instead of observing their thoughts and using their thoughts to serve themselves, they are IN their thoughts. If this weren’t so tragic, it would be amusing. We are convined that because we have cell phones with cameras in them, we must be more advanced than people who lived twenty-five hundred years ago; but in fact, those people in the past were much more aware of their internal world than we are, because they weren’t distracted by technology. We have all this technology, which is supposed to make our lives easier, yet it doesn’t. They had non of the technology, but they had much simpler lives and perhaps a better understanding of how their minds worked.”

Do not flirt when you’re in a relationship.
Just don’t. I mean if you’re in a relationship, it’s not cute or funny in any way for you to go off and flirt with someone else. You’re with someone who is possibly hurting or jealous, because you go off and do such things. Sometimes, this person you’re with will say it’s okay, but it’s because they put up with it, only because they adore you to pieces, they love/like you a lot.
