People are... Full of contradictions. They're lonely. And then they're not. They're missed. And then they're not.

About This Quote

The human race is full of contradictions. We are lonely, yet we miss someone when they are not around. We are missed, yet we don’t care about them anymore. We love to be in love, yet we break up over the smallest things.

These things make us human, but they can make us miserable. On the other hand, there is also something to be gained from all of this. We can learn to see life in a different way.

For instance, the next time you miss someone, think about how they would feel if they were in your shoes. You might be surprised at how they would react to the situation and just how much they mean to you.
