Quotes
Life is like a camera, just focus on the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot.

The frame, the definition, is a type of context. And context, as we said before, determines the meaning of things. There is no such thing as the view from nowhere, or from everywhere for that matter.
