Some of the people we feel sorry for feel sorry for us for thinking that they are the ones who should be felt sorry for.

We are sometimes hurt mostly or only not by what happened or is happening to us but by being felt sorry for.

You cannot force someone to believe something they do not believe; you can only manage to force them to speak or act as if they do.

Some people respect some people only because some people respect them.

We are sometimes depressed by our failure to convince people who strongly believe that we are that we are definitely not depressed.

An ignorant man who is regarded as knowledgeable by people who are more ignorant than him is still ignorant.
