“It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.” – Epictetus

(My Thoughts:)

First of all, I think that nothing in life is impossible and even though some things may seem like they are, perhaps there is a different way to look at it. Anyway, when something seems impossible, then how was it possible for it to begin with?

Reading Minds 

What this quote by Epictetus reminds me is during my middle school days when I would read my friends mind. It was kind of like we knew what we were thinking just by looking at each other. I remember one time we both got in trouble and we were sent to the office for detention. As we were in the office, we were sitting away from each other, yet we were laughing and understanding each other. This pretty much felt like we were reading each other’s minds and we knew what we were thinking without even having to talk.

Ever have a friend like this where you just understand each other. Well, that was my best friend during middle school and as we both went to different high schools, we slowly started fading our relationship. Well, 9th grade he moved to San Francisco, and we only talked on the phone until we were like 20. After that we slowly departed our friendship from the phone too. Not sure how it happened, but it happened. Anyway, I wish I could reach him out again just don’t know how as you lose your phone you lose all the contacts with it. As I plan on going to San Francisco one day, I hope I could come in contact with him again after couple decades later.

Anway, one message I can spread to you is to always forgive and don’t lose friends. People are people and everyone is unique in their way. The last thing you want to do is to go back and remember the friend you lost. I never lost my friend through any fight or anything negative. However, many people do and this negativity needs to stop. Anyone you come across, leave a peaceful trail behind.
