People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42211]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions they can impose.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10157]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64637]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glamour is what I sell, it's my stock in trade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had an outstanding first quarter with major wins for all product lines in every geography and the successful completion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37863]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had an outstanding first quarter with major wins for all product lines in every geography and the successful completion of several strategic initiatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere.
