Sering aku disiksa oleh pertanyaan: mengapa A Ling bisa begitu? Apa salahku sehingga ia begitu? Apa yang ada di kepala seorang perempuan? Apakah pertimbangan yang bijak? Kecemasan? Atau sekadar dengungan? Sungguh aku tak mengerti. NAmun, perlukah aku mengerti? Kurasa tidak. Yang kuperlukan hanyalah menghormati keputusannya, dan karena Tuhan telah menciptakan manusia dengan hati dan pikiran yang boleh punya jalan masing-masing, penghormatan seharusnya tidak memerlukan pengertian. (hlm. 237) ↗

When we give freely, we feel full and complete; when we withhold, we feel small, petty, impotent, and lacking. We are meant to learn this great truth, that giving fulfills us, while withholding and trying to get causes us to feel empty and even more needy. This truth runs counter to our programming, which drives us to try to get something from others to fulfill our neediness, only to end up even more needy, grasping, lacking, and unfulfilled. ↗

There are some people that see the half full cup and get upset about where the other half of the cup went... With an attitude like that, they will never be happy. I see a half full cup and I immediately take half of someone else’s cup and then I have a full cup and I’m happy. With the right attitude, life is really very simple." Peter Pan from 'Leaving Neverland' (Why Little Boys Shouldn't Run Big Corporations) ↗
