If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never
hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved
upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want
to forget, you cannot hate. ~C. Joybell C.
If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you
for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you’ve made,
if they don’t realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have
to go. ~Steve Maraboli
Domestic cats love to play, this is especially true with kittens who love
to chase toys and play fight. Play fighting among kittens may be a way
for them to practice and learn skills for hunting and fighting.

There will be a time when you are forced to follow your heart
away from someone you love. ~Ashly Lorenzana
Cats communicate by marking trees, fence posts,
or furniture with their claws or their waste.
These scent posts are meant to inform others
of a cat’s home range. House cats employ
a vocal repertoire that extends from a purr
to a screech. Source: National Geographic
Hanging on to resentment is letting someone you despise
live rent-free in your head. ~Ann Landers
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. Over-thinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don’t help you. Think positive. ~Unknown
Unnecessarily thinking and worrying only help
you in making your life more complicated.
~Anurag Prakash Ray
Hurtful actions and reprisals are different but closely related. Actions once done are finished with, there’s no need to answer with revenge and hostility. This is called “action” (kamma). “Reprisal” (vera) means to continue that action further with thoughts of “you did it to me so I’m going to get you back.” There’s no end to this. It brings about the continual seeking of revenge, and so hatred is never abandoned. As long as we behave like this the chain remains unbroken, there’s no end to it. No matter where we go, the feuding continues. ~Ajahn Chah
The way to develop love is through thinking out the evils of hate, and the advantages of non-hate; through thinking out according to actuality, according to karma, that really there is none to hate, that hate is a foolish way of feeling which breeds more and more darkness, that obstructs right understanding. Hate restricts; love release. Hatred strangles; love enfranchises. Hatred brings remorse; love brings peace. Hatred agitates; love quietens, stills, calms. Hatred divides; love unites. Hatred hardens; love softens. Hatred hinders; love helps. And thus through a correct study and appreciation of the effects of hatred and the benefits of love, should one develop love. ~Ven. Piyadassi

Listen to Khmer literature and Dhamma talk by His Holiness Jotannano Chuon Nath, Supreme Patriarch of Cambodia Buddhism.
Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?
Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.
Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.
May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind, so the wise are not shaken by blame and praise. As a deep lake is clear and calm, so the wise become tranquil after they listened to the truth…
Good people walk on regardless of what happens to them. Good people do not babble on about their desires. Whether touched by happiness or by sorrow, the wise never appear elated or depressed. ~The Dhammapada
