About This Quote
When it comes to love, people think that everything is perfect and if things aren’t perfect perhaps they are bad. They think that they don’t really know what another person is thinking or feeling even if they are talking to them face to face. They always ask the wrong question, seldom asking “What are you thinking?” Often people will ask someone, “What are you thinking?” instead of “What do you think?” The idea behind asking what someone is thinking is to get an idea of their thoughts or feelings about something. If someone asks, “What are you thinking?,” then they are asking what the person is feeling.
When it comes to love, people think that everything is perfect and if things aren’t perfect perhaps they are bad. We must realize that there are no bad or good thoughts. Thoughts can only be bad or good because we decide how we feel about them based on the action we take as a result of our thoughts.
When it comes to love, people think that everything is perfect and if things aren’t perfect perhaps they are bad.
