"There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best."
~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Yes it's very true...but the reason is you can't hurt those you barely know very much - the hurt sets into the hearts more deeply of someone that loves and trusts you already. I think we flatter those we know least - but I think we can be mean just as easily to those we know least - but the same mean words we may use on someone we don't know...well sting much sharper on those that we do..and have grown to love and trust us.
Wonderful verse.

"Twilight is an astonishing love tale, yet no longer functional." And Romeo and Juliet IS functional. Yahhhh. genuine. besides, i think of the extra youthful audiences of Twilight, aka, 12 and youthful, are people who've given the e book sequence the terrible acceptance it has now. They OBSESS over the HOTNESS of the characters, and not the textile and the writing and the characters themselves. and that i agree that twilight and Harry Potter should not be in comparison, because of the fact they are meant for completely diverse audiences. HP is for toddlers- Twilight isn't. And definite, Harry Potter has been ideal advertising longer, because of the fact it grew to become into released interior the ninety's, while Twilight grew to become into printed in 2005. Twilight is extra effective written, extra effective defined, and the characters are extra defined, yet Harry Potter is extra vividly inventive. as a procedures because of the fact the baby biting human beings, blame, I dunno Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Moonlight, Dracula, I dunno, why might you enable a kindergardener watch Twilight, is the guy stupid? Twilight does not sell biting besides- and that i think undesirable for Rob Pattinson- human beings obsessing over him like it is risky for hi,- he could no longer visit the theatre and sit down by using his action picture because of the fact it freaked him out to pay attention all of the stuff being mentioned approximately him- he's been having panic assaults and getting ill- the media is harassing him consistently, making him out as a jerk- undesirable guy,

I couldn't agree more. I think it is because we know they love us unconditionally ! They are more likley to know we are just having a bad day or that we are just angry etc...As long as you do tell them you love and appreciate them from time to time then when you are just being unreasonable most of the time they can see right through it
