I've often tried to counter balance the grumpy English tendency around this place (although I can be angry enough and bolshie enough for all of us at times ::) ) . Lately both here and in my personal life I've had more than enough negativity to last however many lifetimes of the wheel of life it's gonna take to reach nirvana.
Yesterday I had what can only be described as a massive spiritual lift - gaining help and love from somewhere I would never have imagined I could. In return I promised that I would try and be the love that I was asking to be given. This is a little part of that promise.
Quotes can be trite or cliched and it's easy to sneer or be dismissive. We can choose to see things that way if we like or we can think on the words and see if we can get something from them.
So here we go.............. you don't have to explain why something means something to you unless you want to, some (including my starter for 10) will probably be obvious but we never know when something can turn the light back on in the dark:
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger" - Nietzsche
No negative shit and no nasty shit please - just light.

All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

and Tolstoy also said "Nietzsche was stupid and abnormal." ;D
I find it funny to just add this due to the Nietzsche quote and I find the history amusing.

I like this one, allegedly by Mark Twain: “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened”
It's something I need to remind myself of more often. ;)

Well, thought to reactivate this due to the recent shocking news in the world of rock music:
"Death is an inevitability, isn't it? You become more aware of that when you get to my age. I don't worry about it.
I'm ready for it. When I go, I want to go doing what I do best. If I died tomorrow, I couldn't complain. It's been good."
-Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister
