Ruth Ozeki Quote
Yes, I told her. I'm angry, so what?..... I went on, giving her an executive summary of my crappy life.....So of course I feel angry, I said angrily. What do you expect? It was a stupid thing to ask.Yes, she agreed. It was a stupid thing to ask. I see that you're angry. I don't need to ask such a stupid thing to understand that.So why did you ask?Slowly she turned herself around, pivoting on her knees, until finally she was facing me, I asked for you, she said.For me?So you could hear the answer.
