More than Youthful Innocence
Loss
Virginity, virginity, when you leave me, where do you go?
I am gone and never come back to you.
I never return.

The individuation of the paradigm shift within is a phenomenon that we only recognize a few times within a typical lifetime. Gratitude is the ideal and according to Cicero the greatest of all virtues. If Cicero discovered Sappho in his lifetime, he would surely feel gratitude for the love of life, loss and Logos.
huh?
The greatest scholars are not usually the wisest people.

Do you get my point?
Huh?
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.

The titled responsion is "Huh?".
How are the two variations of huh different? How about one more?
Huh?
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.

The titled responsion is...
Arrival as an early outcome confined by ignorance is an imagined alternative to the common sense that expands the problem of knowledge. An alternative to all but the conceiver, the bliss of being content regardless of contradiction is ironic and a tautology of sorts. Capture and release the thoughts that limit your questionable existence, explore the Existential and counterpoint the angst with the pluralistic alternatives of the ages. God may be dead but Goodness dies only with humanity.
What is your definition of a successful life? If you have any idea of what life is about, you would certainly answer "it depends". This answer is probably the most accurate of all the definitions, as it is very difficult to put one's life into words. To define it is not to say that there is no such thing as a successful life, only that some people will never know anything as they already know too soon.
Heraclitus
To understand what success means, you must know what it does not mean. Success does not mean being rich or wealthy, it does not mean that you are good in school or at work, it does not mean you are successful in social situations, and it does not even mean that you are satisfied with your current situation. Success is an attitude of life that gives life meaning and purpose.
So what are the characteristics of a successful life? Some people are successful because they are happy, content, and healthy. They do not spend their time complaining about their circumstances, they enjoy their lives and know they will get better in them.
Some people choose a more challenging path towards success and others choose a less challenging path. For example, some people take the harder road to success and go to college for a degree, whereas others may decide on a business as a career route.
Others have chosen a more difficult path to achieve their goals and achieve a successful life. Some people chose a career that requires more self-discipline and a willingness to work very hard. Some people choose sports as their career path as this requires a lot of hard work and dedication. Some people choose a life of leisure by spending their free time doing things they enjoy and learning about new things every day.
To achieve a successful life is not just about choosing a career, it is also about choosing a way of life. Do you love doing volunteer work and helping other people? Do you have a hobby that you are passionate about? Are you dedicated to your family and friends?
Success does not just happen. It has to be earned and built. If you are interested in writing articles, do not just sit down at home on your couch and expect to write a good article in a day - you have to get out and take action and get out into the real world and meet people.
Success comes to those who put in the effort and sweat it out. Do not try to force yourself into a routine that will not allow you to relax and let your natural personality shine through, instead of working hard, you should try to make your own schedule and allow your natural traits and talents to shine through. This is the best way to achieve a successful life.
You should never feel like you have to conform to any schedule or plan when you are striving toward a successful life. You should follow your own heart and mind and allow them to guide you towards success.
The good news is there are many ways to achieve success. Many people will choose one method of achieving their goal and follow it to the letter, but if this is your goal, I suggest you take the more challenging road.
Success is something that is earned over time. Some people will choose a challenging path and pursue it over a more challenging one - some will choose a simpler yet challenging path and achieve it successfully - and so on and so forth. There is no right or wrong way to achieve success.
Life is about choices and it is up to you to make the choice and decide what path you want to follow. No matter how difficult your journey will be, it will only be as difficult as you are willing to make it.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end."
— Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)
The titled responsion is "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." What follows is subject to revision, do you have any suggestions?
Speech acts of truth are a skill we cultivate and develop. A rhetoric of sorts without the pejorative should be appreciated for what it is; a representation of beauty. Intention matters, not in the material sense but in the relational sense of forming genuine connections with the people around you.
It's an old and noble saying, but the truth is the kindest thing we can do to other people is to help them through what they are going through. When we are able to give the help they can then help us.
We are all in the same boat and I think that many people have a tough time dealing with their personal life, work, and family issues. When I was struggling, I found myself asking the question, "What is the truth is the kindest thing we can do for others?" I also found it to be one of the most important things I ever did.
I don't think that there is anything that could be harder than trying to get your kids to go to school and then coming back to find out that they are sick or need to stay home because they are in trouble or the police are at the house because they got into drugs. What can you do to stop this? How do you get your kids to do what you want? What about the parents? And how can you get your kids to follow your example and not do drugs?
Mary Shelley
We do all of these things by helping those in need. The truth is the kindest thing we can do for others is to help them through what they are going through.
It was when I had a hard time dealing with my own personal life that I realized what it is like to not be able to help those around me. I felt the same way when I heard my mom in the kitchen washing the dishes for no reason.
It's only natural to feel some of the pain that I was going through because I was having a hard time dealing with my own. Now I think that most people will admit to having a hard time from time to time. Most people will also admit that their own lives are filled with heartache as well. But the truth is the kindest thing we can do for others is to help them through what they are going through.
My mom would tell me, "the truth is the hardest thing we can do for you" when I was having the hardest time with school. but what I don't know is that she is still struggling every day and her problems are just as much of a struggle.
So I decided to help my mom and that is how I came to learn the truth is the kindest thing we can do for others. and not do for them.
There are many reasons why I was having a hard time, I was going through a divorce and my mom was having problems with depression. All of this is a lot to deal with.
I thought that if I could help my mom through these things then maybe I could help myself through mine. but the truth is the kindest thing we can do for someone who really needs it is to be helped by us.
I started looking around for some ways that I could help my mom, one way of helping her through her problems was to talk about them and let her know that I was having a hard time. I wanted her to understand that I didn't know what it was like without me and that I loved her more than anything.
I was able to talk to her about her problems and helped her to have hope and find out how she could continue on and be happy and have hope for the future. I was able to do this for her.
