Quotes That Do Not Make Sense

There are millions of quotes in this world and they all seem to be really "deep" and tell people some lessons on life. And you know, the thing is, NOT all quotes are good. Some just really do not make sense and honestly, sound really pretentious and "deep" when they just.. do not make any sense.

Here're some quotes that I still do not get until today: 

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna get. 
This quote sounds nice. It really does. I like this quote, and I get what it's trying to say, that life is unexpected and we never know what we will be getting the next moment. But WHY CHOCOLATE?! I mean, is chocolate even unexpected?! Honestly, the first time I read this quote, I've been wondering until today. When you open a box of chocolates, do you go like, "Oh, I don't know what I'm gonna get." What does a box of chocolate has? Chocolates! And often, if it's dark chocolate (or any other flavour), it will be written on the box, and ALL the chocolates inside are dark chocolates. You don't go like, "Oooh.. I don't know what I'm gonna get next. Is it mint flavoured one?" No, that will not happen because the box says it's dark. And if it's assorted kind of chocolate, it will also be written on the box, which in this case, you might not know of what flavour you will be eating. But then again, it's already written "Assorted" so it's kind expected that there are different flavours. So, can someone explains to me what is so unexpected about chocolates that it represents life? Because it's just food for me and when I see food, I eat it. 

If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve my best. 
And we all know that this quote is by Marilyn Monroe. Look, I understand that she's someone respected in this world. As much as I love her 50s pin-up girl style, this quote... is just.. seriously, I think, rubbish. What do you mean that when someone can't handle your worst, then they don't deserve your best?! So it's an excuse for you to be at your worst?! If you want to be at your worst, then fine. Be at your worst and have no one to love you (and we all know that Marilyn Monroe's life is not made of rainbows). Don't go blaming people later saying that no one loves you. Here's a better quote from me: If you can't be at your best, then you don't deserve love from other people (go quote it all over Tumblr, Facebook, Instragram, Twitter, and be all "deep" and meaningful). The world does not revolve around you and you don't expect people to be really patient with your attitude. Sometimes, people give up on you. They won't want your best anymore because.. they don't think you even have your best side. 

And all the made up stuffs that are being said and starting with "A psychology study said that.. "
... 
The other day, a friend of mine posted something on Facebook that looks somehow like this:

A psychology study said that:
- when someone laughs loudly, it means that he's really sad inside.
- when someone sleeps a lot, it means that he's lonely. 
- when someone acts differently, it means that he's lying

...I don't even want to live in this planet anymore. 
The word "psychology study" has been abused until.. aih, I also speechless. What is even more devastating is that some people actually agree with them. If this comes from a study, please, cite your resources (preferably Harvard style, I am more familiar with it). Now I get why my tutors are so strict when it comes to referencing. Because we need to prevent dumb things being said. I mean, seriously, so when someone laughs loudly, so he's lonely?! Where the hell do you get the idea from?! 

And bimbo pictures with deep quotes
I don't even...*sadfaceforbimbos* 
No, seriously, why are you doing this? I am a bimbo too ( I always believe that all girls have a little bimbo-ness in them) sometimes but I don't get why you're doing this. A lot of people (some of my friends included) tend to post a picture of themselves (often beautifully) and then put a quote there like it's very deep like that. Some quotes are good, really good. But what has it got to do with your that picture of yourself? 


Phew, finally, I am releasing the BIG questions I've been wondering in my life. 
The world is so interesting when I get to to see people coming up with things that do make much sense (myself included sometimes) and what's more interesting is that, sometimes, they really do believe all these stuffs. I guess different people have different opinions and ideas in life. One thing for sure, I will never understand (and don't want to) their thoughts on life.
