Eventually you will see that the real cause of problems is not life itself. It’s the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes problems.
“I want to taste and glory in each day, and never be afraid to experience pain; and never shut myself up in a numb core of nonfeeling, or stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out. To learn and think: to think and live; to live and learn: this always, with new insight, new understanding, and new love.”
― The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Si tienes miedo a hacerte daño, aumentas la probabilidad de que eso mismo suceda... Sé prudente y sobre todo, entrégate sin reservas.”

“There is no particular merit in being nice to one's fellow man... We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is a result of our emotions - love apathy, charity of malice - and what part is predetermines by the constant power play among individuals.
True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buries from view), consists of attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental débâcle, a débâcle so fundamental all others stem from it.”
