“حين أفكر فى احتمال موت قريب , لا أفكر الا فى نفسى وحدها .. مالى والأصدقاء الذين سرعان ما ينسوننى , و مالى و النساء اللواتى حين سيقبلن رجلا اّخر , سيسخرن منى حتى لا يغار صاحبهن من ميت .. و من عواصف الحياة رجعت ببعض الأفكار فقط , و لم أرجع بعاطفة واحدة .. ان فى نفسى رجلين : واحدا يعيش بأوسع معانى هذةالكلمة , و اّخر يفكر ويحكم على الأول..بعد ساعة قد يقول لك أحدهما وداعاّ ...
و الثـانى ... الثانى ؟”

“We deserve some respect. You deserve some respect. You are important to other people, as much as to yourself. You have some vital role to play in the unfolding destiny of the world. You are, therefore, morally obliged to take care of yourself. You should take care of, help and be good to yourself the same way you would take care of, help and be good to someone you loved and valued. You may therefore have to conduct yourself habitually in a manner that allows you some respect for your own Being—and fair enough. But every person is deeply flawed. Everyone falls short of the glory of God. If that stark fact meant, however, that we had no responsibility to care, for ourselves as much as others, everyone would be brutally punished all the time. That would not be good. That would make the shortcomings of the world, which can make everyone who thinks honestly question the very propriety of the world, worse in every way. That simply cannot be the proper path forward.”

“بوسع البشر أن يغمضوا أعينهم أمام ما هو عظيم أو جميل، وأن يغلقوا آذانهم أمام الألحان والكلام المعسول ولكن ليس بوسعهم الهروب من العبق لأنه شقيق الشهيق، معه يدخل إلى ذواتهم، ولا يستطيعون صدّه إن رغبوا بالبقاء على قيد الحياة، إنه يدخل إلى أعماقهم، إلى القلب مباشرة، حيث يتم الفصل الحاسم بين الميل إليه أو احتقاره، بين القرف منه أو الرغبة فيه، بين حبه أو كرهه.”

“Everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting the associated negative experience. Any attempt to escape the negative, to avoid it or quash it or silence it, only backfires. The avoidance of suffering is a form of suffering. The avoidance of struggle is a struggle. The denial of failure is a failure. Hiding what is shameful is itself a form of shame.
Pain is an inextricable thread in the fabric of life, and to tear it out is not only impossible, but destructive: attempting to tear it out unravels everything else with it. To try to avoid pain is to give too many fucks about pain. In contrast, if you’re able to not give a fuck about the pain, you become unstoppable." ~~~~ Mark Manson”
