Neuronal Power Quotes

“And so, the neuronal illnesses of
the twenty-first century follow a dialectic: not the dialectic of negativity, but that of positivity. They are pathological conditions
deriving from an excess of positivity”
― BYUNG-CHUL HAN, The Burnout Society

“The Buddha compared attachment to drinking salt water from an ocean. The more we drink, the thirstier we get. Likewise, when our mind is conditioned by attachment, however much we have, we never really experience contentment. We lose the ability to distinguish between the bare experience of happiness and whatever objects temporarily make us happy. As a result, we not only become dependent on the object, but we also reinforce the neuronal patterns that condition us to rely on an external source to give us happiness.”
