You learn when you listen. You earn when you listen — not just money, but respect.

"The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly. It's not the shattering itself that breaks you—it’s the silence that follows, the quiet space where you realize there’s nothing left to salvage. And in that moment, you know that you’ll never be the same again. You’ll build something new, perhaps, but it will never be what you lost."

— F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair." - C.S. Lewis

Risk Taking Is Usually Less Driven By Courage,

And More Driven By Having Little Or Nothing To Lose.

The Worst Case Scenario is Not That You Die

The Worst Case Scenario is That You Stay Alive

And Become Something You Do Not Want To Be

Life is Not About What You Get.

Life Is About What You Become

Man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrfices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

Russian literature is considered the most truthful form of literature in the world and the most expressive of reality. It is the only literature that has far surpassed psychology and highlighted the beauty of the human soul.
Here are some quotes:

1. "Even if I overcome everything that pains me… I am no longer who I used to be."
— Dostoevsky

2. "People who are brought together by a shared tragedy feel a certain relief when they gather."
— Anton Chekhov

3. "Only what we want to forget remains in memory."
— Dostoevsky

4. "When they betray you, it’s as if they’ve cut off your arms—you can forgive them, but you can’t embrace them."
— Tolstoy

5. "Nothing reforms a person as much as the memory of their past regrets."
— Dostoevsky

6. "Winter is cold for those who have no warm memories, but I believe it is even colder for those who have them without their owners."
— Dostoevsky

7. "In my opinion, the best moment in an acquaintance is the one just before farewell."
— Dostoevsky

8. "I may not have remarkable victories, but I can amaze you with the defeats I survived."
— Chekhov

9. "Those who insist on sitting by the window often know nothing about the details of the road."
— Lermontov

10. "Nothing is worse than an old man who placed his dreams on his son’s shoulders, only to wake up in a nursing home."
— Dostoevsky

"No matter what happens, it is within my power to turn it to my advantage."
— Epictetus

Unhealthy love is when two people use each other to escape their problems.

Healthy love is when two people help each other to address their problems.

Unhealthy love often feels
exciting, dramatic and profound, but hurts us in the long run.

Healthy love often feels dull, peaceful and repetitive, but it heals us in the long run.

Understanding a negative phenomenon is NOT going to prevent you from experiencing pain as a result of it.

For example, I can explain to you what happens when you get the flu virus; this is NOT going to make you experience any less suffering as a result of the flu.

Similarly, I can explain the Negative Manifestation of the "Light Switch Effect" to you.

If you understand it, thoroughly and accurately, will this prevent you from experiencing emotional pain when you get hit with it?

NO

Not really.
