Don’t trust a feeling. It fades; it flickers. From moment to moment, from dream to dream, it waxes and wanes. If you follow it, you are sure to fall. If you ignore it, you are sure to erode yourself from the inside out. If you deny it, it is sure to expose you--in a glance, in a word. All there is to do with a feeling is just that: feel it. Let it pass through you. You are more than mere feeling. You have a heart, but you also have a spark, a bit of stardust, and a wonder that cannot be duplicated. These things can never be taken nor lessened. They are inate. Trust no one or nothing that makes you feel otherwise.

And remember that feeling, too, cannot be trusted. You can be wrong about people. It goes both ways: sometimes they appear good, others bad. Either way, you can be sure feelings are fickle by nature and all too easily deceived.
