–Fritz Perls (Gestalt prayer)

"I am I, and you are you. I do my thing and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped."

(Frederick "Fritz" Perls, 1893-1970)

Gestalt “prayer” This quote by the famous gestalt psychologist, Fritz Perls, was very popular in the 1960s, but in this age of mind-everyone-else's-business and judge-your-neighbor, it's been almost forgotten.    I think it's time to resurrect his sage advice about minding your own damned business.

if not, it can’t be helped.

it can’t be helped.

it. can’t. be. helped.

[bloodypriestess]

I wish you all that is beautiful. I wished it then; now and always. As we part ways, I live in hope you would wish the same for me.

私は私のために生きる。あなたはあなたのために生きる。 私は何もあなたの期待に沿うためにこの世に生きているわけじゃない。 そして、あなたも私の期待に沿うためにこの世にいるわけじゃない。 私は私。あなたはあなた。 でも、偶然が私たちを出会わせるなら、それは素敵なことだ。 たとえ出会えなくても、それもまた同じように素晴らしいことだ。 I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, And you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by the chance we find each other, it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.

Frederick Salomon Perls, 1893-1970

You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful.
