Veils of Ignorance

“She likes herself, yet hates others, for that which in herself she prizes; and while she laughs at them, forgets She is the thing that she despises.”

-William Congreve

I adore this quote, it’s got mind blow qualities that inspire me. If you’ve ever been confused by people who are mean and hateful these words may lead to some freedom for you. Had I fully understood the meaning of these words much earlier than I did, the first half of my life may have unfolded entirely different.

I may not have thought twice about the things people said and did. I may not have asked “Why?” a hundred times and spent my precious energy looking for clues or insight to change something I couldn’t. I may not have cried so much or carried a bruised heart. I may have exited their atmosphere sooner than I did.
