EezzyNour Soup for the Soul: Windows

“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”
~Isaac Asimov

EezzyNour Soup for the Soul: Assumption

“Every time we make assumptions about what other people feel, do or think, we imprison them and us in a separate reality. When we believe in those assumptions and act accordingly, this separate reality becomes an existential torture chamber for them and ultimately for us. All the terror and pain that we experience or see in the world is the result of our assumptions. Assumptions are the greatest crime in human consciousness. Hence let's start to create an assumption-free world.”
~Franco Santoro

I will always be with you..

"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...
there is something you must 
always remember.
You are 
BRAVER than you BELIEVE,
STRONGER than you SEEM &
SMARTER than you THINK.
But the most important thing is, 
even if we're apart..
I'LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU."
~A.A Milne

A friend

In times of grief and sorrow..

"In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own.

And together we will try to hold back the floods to tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life”
~Nicholas Sparks

People come, people go..

“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.

Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.” 
~Nicholas Sparks
