“ Sometimes the greatest difference between being a boy and being a man is restraint. ”
It is how humans are wired to remember. They either take more credit for success or more responsibility for failure than is their due.
~ Dave Donovan
...unlike knowledge, understanding cannot be taught. It must be achieved.
A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love, and in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges in the lowest form of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal in satisfying his vices.
