Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour
when every one has to throw off his mask?
Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked?
Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight
in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it?
I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others
that at last their true nature could not reveal itself;...
In every man there is something which to a certain degree
prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself;
and this may be the case in so high a degree,
he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life
which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself.
But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love,
and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all.

Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

and those expectations will often be unmet.
Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.
When we are disappointed, we look for someone to blame.
Declaring someone to be at fault is the nature of anger.
Anger is always directed at someone -
possibly toward God or the non-specific "they,"
but at some animate entity.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

a false front for the urge to rule.

Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition.

- Robert Heinlein

and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.

given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything.
Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion
will legislate its creed into law
if it acquires the political power to do so,

Probably the happiest period in life
