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[Honor is like an island, rugged and without a beach; once we have left it, we can never return. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor is like an island, rugged and without a beach; once we have left it, we can never return.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is far more to be wrong than right; more often unjust than just.
