while the other brings us joy. I choose joy.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

Loneliness is not what it seems.
One does not feel lonely because one is alone,

one's sense of inherent worth.

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
