standards

The cult of friendship disturbs me. It's like our quality is supposed to be measured by the number of friends we have. For me, it's quite the inverse. When somebody says "I'm friends with everyone" I just assume they have the spine of your average jellyfish and the integrity of your average soap dish. "I have tons of close friends!" Ok, then you obviously have no standards. "I've slept with lots of people!" Good, I will shake your hand from inside this Hazmat suit. It's like you have to have friends or you're nothing, and you gotta have lots of friends, and the more friends you have the more value you have. This Is a way of lowering our standards to fit in. I'm a big fan of quality over quantity. Everyone wants to look at their life like it's a beer commercial they can just climb into. The larger the circle of friends the more alcohol is involved to blind yourself to the fact that you cant stand most of these assholes.

Human being living at the level of biomass will comply with all standards and patterns that are required by the surroundings and society

Let them be what they want to be. Make yourselves what you want to be.

Women Empowerment Reminder of The Day. Always respect yourself as a woman. You attract what you are, so be very mindful of how you__e representing yourself. If you want respect, you must first learn how to respect yourself, first. Attracting negative attention is never a good thing. Be a woman of substance! Be a woman that both women and men respect, admire, and look up to. Don__ disrespect yourself by lowering your standards and accepting just anything that comes your way. It__ okay to be single!

If you have people who treat you badly in your life, they will be a human shield against people who will treat you well. If that__ not true then we should apply it to marriage and start saying to woman who are being put down or beaten, __ou gotta stay with him because he needs you and he has been your husband for 20 years for heaven sakes. You just have to work to love him more and so on._ This is the advice they gave to woman like 200 fucking years ago and it was abusive advice. I view the parent child relationship (This just not my made up perspective.) it is the least voluntary relationship. At least the woman who got married chose to get married. We don__ choose our parents. The highest standards of behavior are required for parents and no one else. There is no one else whose standards of behavior need be higher than parents and so often parents get away with the lowest possible standards of behavior with regards to their children.

If you do not work on self- improvement or do not develop strength of character, you will be inclined to succumb to the opinions of the people surrounding you or to the standards criminally imposed on you by the society

The nicest thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

Set a high standard on how you treat women. Whether they appreciate it or not, don__ lower your own standards of behavior.

I am so much happier when I am doing the things that make me me, and that's living by my standards and doing the things I love, using my talents, however random they are, to share with other people. That's what makes me happy.

When a person acts in accordance to God__ standards, he gets God__ wisdom.

Dont let people apply their poor standards on you, never ever let anybody do it. Just because they cant do or get certain things in life and they want to apply the same to you, you need to rebuke that. Their standard is their standard and yours is beyond their imagination.. Period

We are sometimes astounded by the behavior of emotional outlaws, as they act in line with their own standards, but proceed like bulls-in-a-china-shop, create one heck of a mess in their living environment and bring about shocking disturbing dissensions, ever since their inner construction clashes with our emotional architecture.

Believing in your standards for a square deal, even when there's no way to get it, is what allows you to create boundaries and take independent action.
