This Goethe quote sounds beautiful, but it oversimplifies how people actually perceive the world.Because in reality, it often works the other way around:

✦ Someone who carries kindness inside doesn’t dissolve into rainbows.They notice how much cruelty there is, because it cuts deeper.

✦ Someone who loves — feels all the indifference, because it breaks them.

✦ Someone who is honest — painfully senses the lies, because they contrast so sharply.

✦ And someone filled with darkness — mistakes other people’s kindness for weakness, and only sees a chance to use it.

Am I wrong???

“Gratitude is when the memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.” —Lionel Hampton

This, I feel, is a powerful quote. It means, as I interpret it, that instead of having the one memory, it’s more of a feeling. It’s a warmth that grows inside your chest whenever you think of a certain event, and it’s all the things piling up inside that help you to radiate that light, that warmth. And as you show that, other people may feel gratitude as well, and so the cycle continues.
