Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.

Carnival Costumes Crowds
Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can’t have both.
VERNON HOWARD

Block Ground Higher Hurt

Inner guidance is heard like soft music in the night by those who have learned to listen.
