So I killed. So I maimed. So I destoryed one innocent life after another. Aren’t I a human being? Don’t I yearn and ache and shop? Don’t I deserve love…and jewelry?

I guess that’s the problem when you really get to know someone. We learn all their triggers and emotional buttons, and unfortunately, in times of war, we press them.
Samantha Young, Down London Road (via hefzyisback)
The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, (via quotemadness)
forgive me
father
for i have sinned
& i no longer
believe
in fairytales
& happy endings
only in tragedies
& sorrows
i am too young
to be this sad
& too old
to be this naïve

It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.
Marcus Aurelius (via quotemadness)
No, you do not have a thousand years to live. Urgency is on you. So while you live, while you can, become good.
Marcus Aurelius (via thebuddhistmind)
what is more unfair
than having to choose
between being a monster
or being a hero?(—when you have to be both.)
when you learn that
the road to hell
is paved with more
than just good intentions.

Ma’at itself enbodies the principles of truth and justice. For the individual following the path of Ancient Egyptian spirituality honesty and integrity are essential. In all of one’s actions these qualities most always be upheld. This is also true when evaluating yourself. Self-delusion and ego-centered thinking quickly bring about a state of imbalance in oneself. If left unchecked they can cause some of the more destructive human emotions to emerge. Jealousy, greed, domination, prejudice, cruelty and more can usually be traced back to the imbalanced state created by the over-sized, self-deluded ego.
