What are some eternal pieces of wisdom you found on Fluther?

Asked by kyanblue (1182points) June 22nd, 2010

What are some really good quotes, bits of advice, or pearls of wisdom that you’ve found from fellow Flutherites?

I was just thinking of this today because a while back I was reading through some relationship questions and I came across a (in my mind) very succinct and thought-provoking model of a relationship. I don’t remember what user said this (if you know, please tell me!) but the idea is:

In a relationship, say, with Persons A and B, there are actually six people in the relationship:

1) Who Person A thinks he is;
2) Who Person B thinks A is;
3) Who Person A actually is (which may be unknown for both parties).

So three ‘people’ per actual physical person in a relationship. If you think about it, this is really where all relationship problems are derived from…this and differing expectations out of a relationship.

So what about you? Is there anything you read on Fluther that you’ll remember forever?
