You might believe that it's only for their own good, but how does it feel when you try to manipulate the people you love? are you teaching them that your love is conditional? maybe through inquiry we can find another way.

More From Byron Katie

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Basketball Pain Motivation
Reason and free inquiry are the only effective agents against error. give a loose to them, they will support the true religion by bringing every false one to their tribunal, to the test of their investigation. they are the natural enemies of error and error only. had not the roman government permitted free inquiry, christianity could never have been introduced. had not free inquiry been indulged at the era of the reformation, the corruption of christianity could not have been purged away.
Errors Government Giving
No love is conditional. if love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
Love Is Manipulation Conditional
If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.
Liars Party Goal
I use the word inquiry as synonymous with the work...inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.
Confusion Experience Needs
What you might call the "symbol pushers" - that is to say, all of the people who deal with figures, with paper, with men, who manipulate - to use a better or nicer word - manipulate men and signs and words. all those today have not only to sell their service, but in the bargain, they have to sell their personality, more or less. there are exceptions.
Men People Personality
Similar Quotes
One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.
Tone Opinion Argument
The twin conceptions of sin and vindictive punishment seem to be at the root of much that is most vigorous, both in religion and politics.
Punishment Roots Evil
For like a poisonous breath over the fields, like a mass of locusts over egypt, so the swarm of excuses is a general plaque, a ruinous infection among men, that eats off the sprouts of the eternal.
Men Egypt Fields
So over violent, or over civil that every man with him was god or devil.
God Men Devil
