I think there are odder, deeper, more angular thoughts in your mind than you have yet let come out.

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy, because you understand them but they do not understand you.

The path isn’t a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.

Most of us know ourselves only from our limited experiences in familiar situations that involve rules, laws, policies, and pressures that constrain us. We go to school, to work, on vacation, to parties; we pay the bills and the taxes, day in and year out. But what happens when we are exposed to totally new and unfamiliar settings where our habits don’t suffice? you start a new job, go on your first computer-matched date, join a fraternity, get arrested, enlist in the military, join a cult, or volunteer for an experiment. The old you might not work as expected when the ground rules change.

Philip Zimbardo, The Lucifer Effect (via fyp-psychology)
