Blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled:

About This Quote

Blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled. The Bible is full of poetic phrases, but this one is so simple and so true. The whole process of living takes place in people's hearts. We are all made up of the same basic stuff.

But it doesn't follow that we should take one another's feelings too seriously. Do you know what I mean? It's like this: If you're mad at me, it doesn't mean that I'm mad at you. If you're feeling happy, it doesn't mean that I'm feeling happy.

No one can own anyone else's feelings or thoughts or dreams or anything. It's not like that. We're all different people with different interests.

If you hurt my feelings, I hurt yours. But if we don't hurt each other's feelings, we don't hurt each other's feelings... because our hearts aren't inside our bodies to get hurt by other people.
