Hurt Men Wounded

More From John Green

There is no enemy can hurt us but by our own hands. satan could not hurt us, if our own corruption betrayed us not. afflictions cannot hurt us without our own impatience. temptations cannot hurt us, without our own yieldance. death could not hurt us, without the sting of our own sins. sins could not hurt us, without our own impenitence.
Hurt Hands Temptation
There are only so many times that you can utter ‘it does not hurt’ before it begins to hurt even more than the hurt. you become enlightened of the feeling of feeling hurt, which is worse, i am certain, than the existent hurt.

Nobody escapes being wounded. we are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. the main question is not, 'how can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'how can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' when our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers.

Now, is it possible not to be hurt at all? because the consequences of being hurt are the building of a wall around oneself, withdrawing in one's relationship with others in order not to be hurt more. in that there is fear and a gradual isolation. now, we are asking: is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?

Ask me to play. i'll play. ask me to shoot. i'll shoot. ask me to pass. i'll pass. ask me to steal, block out, sacrifice, lead, dominate. anything. but it's not what you ask of me. it's what i ask of myself.

We must have a new mythology, but it must place itself at the service of ideas, it must become a mythology of reason. mythology must become philosophical, so that the people may become rational, and philosophy must become mythological, so that philosophers may become sensible. if we do not give ideas a form that is aesthetic, i.e., mythological, they will hold no interest for people.

You know, they've got these chocolate assortments, and you like some but you don't like others? and you eat all the ones you like, and the only ones left are the ones you don't like as much? i always think about that when something painful comes up. now i just have to polish these off, and everything'll be ok. life is a box of chocolates. i suppose you could call it a philosophy.

When you talk about a million bucks, if you think about it very carefully, it's not that much money, if you start to divide it. you have to figure out a philosophy as to whom you want to give it to.

We have had enough, once and for all, of hedonism--the gloomy philosophy which says that pleasure is the only good.

My philosophy is to "kill the monster while it's little." the best time to handle a "negative" emotion is when you first begin to feel it. it's much more difficult to interrupt an emotional pattern once it's full-blown.
