One of my favorite quotes is an excerpt from the letter Hamlet wrote Ophelia (Act 2, I believe): Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt thou the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love.
My interpretation is simple: you don't have to believe me when I tell you things that are beyond my control. I can't help that. But don't doubt my feelings. That will make me angry faster than anything else. How dare you assume you know exactly how I'm feeling about a situation or a person. It's insulting. It's as though you're saying what I'm feeling is wrong. You don't know how I should feel or why I should feel that way. And quite frankly, it's none of your business.
