I did, however, do a lot of my winning out of view of my family. And I know that increased suspicions. But I found the best way to bag stuffed animals is without the pressure of a family audience.

“Remember,” Khader said insistently, resting his hand on my forearm to emphasize his words. “Sometimes it is necessary to do the wrong thing for the right reasons. The important thing is to be sure that our reasons are right, and that we admit the wrong – that we do not lie to ourselves, and convince ourselves that what we do is right.”
…Once before he’d tormented me with that phrase. I chewed at it, in my mind, as a bear will chew at a leather strap that binds it by the leg. In my life, the wrong things were almost always done for the wrong reasons. Even the right things that I did were too often goaded by the wrong reasons.Speaker: Gregory David RobertsPosted: 20 Aug 2008 at 7:25 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
Every night at bedtime, when I ask Logan [the younger son] to tell me the best part of his day, he always answers: “Playing with Dylan.” When I ask him for the worst part of his day, ha also answers: “Playing with Dylan.” Suffice it to say, they’re bonded as brothers.

I don’t know why we all hang on to something we know we’re better off letting go. It’s like were scared to lose what we really don’t even have. Some of us say we’d rather have something than nothing at all, but the truth is….to have something halfway is harder than not having it at all.

Men are not angered my mere misfortune but by misfortune conceived as injury. And the sense of injury depends on the feeling that a legitimate claim has been denied. The more claims on life, therefore, that your patient can be induced to make, the more often he will feel injured and, as a result, ill-tempered.

But I was alone, and for two reasons. The mafia was theirs, not mine. For them, the organization always came first. But I was loyal to the men, not the mafia; to the brothers, not the brotherhood. I worked for the mafia, but I didn’t join it. I’m not a joiner. I never found a club or clan or idea that was more important to me than the men and women who believed in it.

When you are doing your best in your creation, the mind stops. You are alive again. Your emotions are coming out and you don’t even notice how great you feel. The action, just the action, makes you feel great. When you have inaction, your mind has to have action, and that is an open invitation for the voice of knowledge to talk to you. But when you are absorbed in what you are doing, the mind hardly speaks.
