"Don't be bothered or irritated by something

"Don't be bothered or irritated by something very mean and ridiculous unexpectedly. Just think that you have gained one piece of knowledge. While studying human character, there is only one new factor to consider. Take the same attitude as a mineralogist who accidentally got a very unusual mineral sample. – Artur Schopenhauer

The process of achieving the positive goals that the planner desires is the process of planning. If we take into account all the positive and negative outcomes that are anticipated, we may never be able to do anything. However, we are unknowingly focused on information that favors the positive outcome that is desirable, that is, the information that favors the rosy scenario.

Pride subconsciously tries to keep the illusion of you going. It may be comforting for the moment, but in the long run, it makes you defensive, making you unable to learn new lessons or develop further. Find a neutral position to observe your behavior with a little distance, even with a smile.

From the moment we were born, the human desire for attention is endless. We are social animals to the bone. My survival and happiness are at stake in the bonds I form with others. If others don't pay attention to me, there is no way I can communicate with them. There is also a part of the interest that you have to feel with your real body. We feel alive only when someone is looking at me. As people who have been isolated for a long time testify, if we can't make eye contact with people, we start to doubt my existence and fall into deep depression.

When evaluating people, use the breadth and narrow vision as a standard. Don't engage with people who don't see the consequences of their actions and who just keep giving thoughtless reactions. Such a person transmits that energy to you as well.

As access to information becomes easier and faster, people tend to mistake it for 'I'm well informed and thought deeply enough'.

If the debate intensified into an argument, it made you feel that your opponent was stupid, brainwashed, or not great.

What people want is not the truth. People want 'support' and 'confirmation' expressed as realistically as possible. Please be willing to send such support and confirmation.

Rules are just guidelines. Sometimes we have to break rules to prove our freedom.

Behind fierce hatred lies a secret envy that never wants to acknowledge the person who hates it. This is because you must hate it so much that you can release that envy from your unconsciousness in some way.

The beginning has to be 'honest'. We have to admit to ourselves that we want to feel like important people and want to be the center of attention. This is a natural desire. We want to feel superior. We have ambitions, just like everyone else. The megalomaniacal desire may have made you make bad decisions in the past. Now you have to acknowledge that and analyze it. It's never been greater than denying reality. Only with this awareness can you turn this energy into something practical and productive.

The only thing we have to throw away is 'hardness'.

Let's remove that weirdness from death, know about death, and get used to it. Let's think about death more often than anything else. Let's picture every aspect of death in our imagination at every moment. It is uncertain where death awaits us. To think about death beforehand is to think about freedom. Those who have learned to die have erased how to become slaves. Once they know how to die, they can escape all subordinates and restrictions. – Michel de Montagne
