today's quotes

"The reason we hurt others is because we don't understand their pain. If we all understood each other's feelings, there would be no more conflicts; that's what we thought. Soon we realized what a horror it wasto be able to read other people's thoughts and be read yourself. Even when you weren't in pain yourself, you could still feel the pain of others, and there was nothign positive about that. Because in the end, if you understood the pains of others you just couldn't live a normal life."
