“Usually we walk around constantly believing ourselves. “I’m okay” we say. “I’m alright”. But sometimes the truth arrives on you and you can’t get it off. That’s when you realize that sometimes it isn’t even an answer–it’s a question. Even now, I wonder how much of my life is convinced.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
I remember reading this a few years back and It sticks with me to this day. I find so much truth in it and it’s inspiring. We find ways to rationalize what goes on around us, things that personally affect us. We try telling ourselves that we are okay, and whether or not this is true it does help. It’s hard not to believe ourselves, even when we are lying. It comes from the source, you say you are okay so you must be. You are conditioning yourself to feel this way. It’s just something i’ve always found interesting, how we influence ourselves. The book itself is great, and inspiring and something I would recommend to all book lovers.
