About This Quote
We all want to find the secret formula that will make our lives better. We want to find the secret of how to be happy, satisfied, and fulfilled. However, the most important lesson science has taught us is that there are no secrets in life. Every person who has ever lived shared the same basic emotions and experiences that we all share today.
But, despite this fact, we still struggle with feelings of loneliness and discontentment. Why? The answer is simple. Humans are often resistant to love and forgiveness.
We are focused on proving ourselves right instead of accepting others for who they are. This refusal to accept others is one reason why the world can be such a dark place at times.
