49 Quotes by Danny Castillones Sillada

Lamentably, not all people who are incredibly blessed by God share their blessings. However, some people—moderately blessed, not so blessed, or not blessed at all—are the real blessings from God. They bestow their benevolence and compassion with others without flaunting the litany of their good deeds. (— Danny Castillones Sillada, Blessed People and People Who Are Blessings from God)

Let me go,’ when earnestly spoken, punctures a tender hole in the soul with regret and sorrow, in contrast to the perniciously “I hate you” or “I don’t love you anymore” that can inflame a repulsive feeling of anger, denial, and resentment. (Danny Castillones Sillada, The Phenomenology of ‘Let Me Go’)

If they can do it, let them do it! If only a handful can do it, forget it! If everybody’s doing it, either you fake it or walk away from it! If no one can’t do it, neither you can do it!
