Difficult people are very important, - they teach you tolerance and acceptance.​

If all was going your way all the time, you would become a spoiled child, wouldn't everyone? Difficult people are just one of the ways the world teaches us to expand beyond our egos and accept other perspectives on life.

This one hit me a little close to home:
Understanding comes from love.

You might believe that you need to understand another to love them. The truth is you need to love them to understand them.

I have a 'new page' extension that when you open a new browser page shows an image with an unrelated quote at the bottom. I saw one the other day and didn't save it so I looked.

Found it:

I wish I had the poise to deliver this on my own.
Sir Antony Hopkins... you said it well.
Eat the chocolates slowly and savor every bite.

“I know that I have less to live than I have lived.
I feel like a child who was given a box of chocolates. He enjoys eating it, and when he sees that there is not much left, he starts to eat them with a special taste.
I have no time for endless lectures on public laws - nothing will change. And there is no desire to argue with fools who do not act according to their age. And there's no time to battle the gray. I don't attend meetings where egos are inflated and I can't stand manipulators.
I am disturbed by envious people who try to vilify the most capable to grab their positions, talents and achievements.
I have too little time to discuss headlines - my soul is in a hurry.
Too few candies left in the box.
I'm interested in human people. People who laugh at their mistakes are those who are successful, who understand their calling and don't hide from responsibility. Who defends human dignity and wants to be on the side of truth, justice, righteousness. This is what living is for.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of others. Who, through the blows of fate, was able to rise and maintain the softness of the soul.
Yes, I hustle, I hustle to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I'll eat all the candy I have left - they'll taste better than the ones I already ate.
My goal is to reach the end in harmony with myself, my loved ones and my conscience.
I thought I had two lives, but it turned out to be only one, and it needs to be lived with dignity.”
Brilliant Anthony Hopkins

It is better to have friends with two chins.

Than friends with two faces.

I did not know some of this, and I've cruised some of these mountains for a long time.
The stuff between the Canadian Rockies and the Cascades are all considered the Columbia Range.

Major Sections of the Rocky Mountains
The Rocky Mountains are a major mountain range spanning from northern New Mexico in the southwestern United States to northern British Columbia, Canada.
While they subdivide into many smaller ranges and can vary by source, at a high level they can be divided into seven large sections: Far Northern Rockies, Canadian Rockies, Central Montana Rocky Mountains, Idaho-Bitterroot Rocky Mountains, Greater Yellowstone Rockies, Western Rocky Mountains, and Southern Rocky Mountains.
*Hierarchies and Boundaries are derived from the GMBA Mountain Inventory and EarthEnv dataset.
