We’re really just squeezing extra activity into every minute that we gain Picture Quote #1

There is an important idea in psychology: The ‘just world theory,’ which says that it is very important for us to convince ourselves that the world is just and things happen for a reason. That there is some elemental fairness in everything, which creates the illusion of justice Picture Quote #1

In the beginning there was faith - which is childish; trust - which is vain; and illusion - which is dangerous Picture Quote #1

Happiness, thou art naught but an illusion. Thy enchantments are cast upon my eyes, my mind, my spellbound heart.
