Summary

This quote is a metaphorical way of describing the negative effects of harboring unforgiveness towards someone. It emphasizes that holding onto anger and resentment only harms oneself, rather than the intended target of our bitterness. Just like ingesting poison will inevitably cause harm to one's own body, refusing to forgive someone and holding onto those negative emotions ultimately brings suffering and misery. It highlights the importance of forgiveness as a way to free ourselves from the burden of resentment and find peace and emotional well-being.

It's easy to look at people and make a quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. and more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can

Nobody controls me. I'm uncontrollable. The only one who can control me is me, and that's just barely possible. And that's the lesson I'm learning. If someone's going to impress me, whether it be a Maharishi or a Yoko, then there comes a point where the emperor has no clothes 'cause I'm naive, but I'm not stupid. For all you folks out there who think I'm having the wool pulled over my eyes, well, that's an insult to me. But if you think you know me, or you have some part of me because of the music, and then you think I'm being controlled like a dog on a leash because I do things with her, then screw you, brother or sister, you don't know what's happening. I'm not here for you, I'm here for me and her, and now the baby.
