How to remain unaffected, even-tempered in my life? My mother tells me: 'Just be slow to take offense! Just be slow to anger!' But those are the ends, by what means does she suppose a person obtains such a perfect patience? It soothes me to believe that we are all just innocent babies, a product of our environments. In my throwings, I want to be motivated only by the love that I have for a person. I never want to assume that a person would intentionally hurt another, I just want to always expect the best. From everybody all of the time.
