For instance, to be misunderstood can mean to be improperly deemed a troublemaker when that is not one's true intent: you see, to troublemakers, the artist knows that the peacemaker may seem like a troublemaker; therefore he may, whether in honesty or in jest, at times, present himself as a troublemaker for perceptual, artistic flair. But then to the artless peacemakers, because of this they will interpret him as a troublemaker. This is why the artist has so few allies. To the troublemakers he's a troublemaker, yet still the peacemakers a troublemaker.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["ally","artist","complexity","flair","misunderstood","peace","peacemaker","precise","tension","trouble","troublemaker","understanding"],"id":160407,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Money is just a piece of paper for me, it always brings trouble with it and too much of money will make you mad for it.","author":"Vignesh S.V.","tags":["humanity","money","money-not-happiness","not-being-rich","trouble","troublemaker"],"id":232130,"author_id":"Vignesh+S.V."},{"text":"A rebel adult often seems like a glorious savior, whereas a rebel child often seems like a little devil.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["adults","children","controversy","devil","rebels","revolutionary","savior","troublemaker"],"id":265087,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"Trouble is the place where you find yourself when your judgment malfunction.","author":"Bangambiki Habyarimana","tags":["bad-judgement","conscience","good-judgement","judgement","trouble","trouble-maker","troublemaker","troubles","troubles"],"id":306054,"author_id":"Bangambiki+Habyarimana"},{"text":"The phrase ‘Boys will be boys,’ reflects that a male child is expected to be unpredictable and occasionally troublesome.","author":"Kilroy J.
