The (500) Days of Summer attitude of “He wants you so bad” seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person. by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (via perfect)

People often ask me questions that I cannot very well answer in words, and it makes me sad to think they are unable to hear the voice of my silence. by Hazrat Inayat Khan (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility. by Sigmund Freud (via raspberrying)

The question one should ask themselves is: Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? If you want to be right, this is a request from your ego. If you want to be happy then this is of the Great Spirit. The only meaning anything has is the meaning we give it. Maybe we should develop a philosophy of: Today is the last day of the rest of my life. If this were true, how easy it would be to let things go - how easy it would be to forgive. by From Meditations with Native American Elders: The Four Seasons  (via seulray)
