Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“There are some things we do because we convince ourselves it would be better for everyone involved. We tell ourselves that it’s the right thing to do, the altruistic thing to do. It’s far easier than telling ourselves the truth.”

― Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper

“Any altruistic system is inherently unstable, because it is open to abuse by selfish individuals, ready to exploit it.”

― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“We fail to reckon with the reality of human nature. By nature, we are egocentric. Our world revolves around us. None of us is totally altruistic.”

― Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts

Wanted to share some inspirational quotes with you.  Today seemed like a good time to do this. There are an estimated 100,000 words in the English language that are feelings related. Some emotions are pleasant, and some are unpleasant, but all feelings can provide useful information. If any of these quotes strike a chord with you, please share them.

Look at these related posts for more on this topic and other feelings.
