A Fucking Genius

I can't recall if I've written before about Virginia Woolf, but let me say with a firm belief - she is a fucking genius!!

Woolf's To The Lighthouse is a required reading for all people seeking meaning and depth in their lives. She writes about truth and how although we experience something one way and look back at it in a different way, both ways are true. She also says that "people interpret one another in ways that reflect their own needs." This is so true! I've always wondered why and how people came to see me so incorrectly - this is how. People don't see you as you are, they see you as they want to.

Both of these ideas are fairly hard to understand; however, take some time and read the novel - it's amazing!
