Conflict between what is right and what we feel is right produces confusion, and the result of confusion is immorality.

it’s just very hard to accept when someone tells you they care about you so much, but then they can walk away and leave you behind. its a paradox and you just want to make sense of it…you want to believe they really do care as much as they said, because it hurts too much to think they didn’t…especially when You care so much for them. but you look at other relationships, and...
