Meaningful Life Quotes

The life Quotes are totally cheesy but at the same time they are so true. Life quotes tend to incite one of two reactions in people; either they make you reevaluate life (at least for a moment) or they make you roll your eyes and think think "do people really like hearing all of these life quotes?" The answer is, oddly enough, yes. They think that if the quote these things enough times that maybe that will make them a better person, or something like that. But the reality is, no matter how many times someone repeats these life quotes, it will not make them a better person, you actually have to make an effort toward being better, not just sounding better.

I personally tend to hate hearing/reading these life quotes, they just make me feel as though someone does not approve of the way I live my life. But maybe you fell motivated to change when you hear them, or maybe you just think they are something to say when people are irritating you with their complete lack of optimism. I am a pessimist through and through so I have heard it all, and I sometimes want to shove the life quotes in the faces of the people who tell them to me and tell them to take their own advice before giving it to other people. But I don't because I know that that would just make matters worse. So I begrudgingly listen to them as they shove their cliché life quotes down my throat. And I smile and continue on like nothing ever happened.

Life quotes are something people put in cards, like for birthdays, weddings, sick people, that sort of stuff, I personally do not like the "inspirational" life quotes in my cards, I prefer jokes, something to make me smile, as opposed to some quote that will just make me feel insignificant, or something to that effect. But now I sound like some jerk who refuses to listen to anyone else's opinion or point of view, which isn't true (usually). So I guess I'll explain, I don't really mind the life quotes when they are filled with good intention, I just hate it when they are a way of trying to control me.

In summary, I don't like life quotes, but, to each his or her own. I will not condemn nor condone people who use life quotes generically, I prefer to judge people based on themselves not the groups they're in. So, yeah, I'm indifferent towards the life quotes themselves, and the people who use them I tolerate based on each ones own unique qualities.
