“When I'm around you, it's like every dream I've ever had is standing right in front of me.”
Courtney Giardina, Behind the Strings

“Sometimes being overwhelmed by emotions can leave you speechless but even then it is important to identify the correct emotion.”

“من هو الإنسانُ الكامل؟

سُئل شمسٌ، فأجاب: هو الذي إذا سمع انتقادات الناس لم يُبد انزعاجًا، ولم يتميّز غضبًا!

ما أسهل أن نجد مثل هذا الإنسان.

-هل تظن ذلك؟ فاسمع إذن الحكاية الآتية: في مجلسٍ من مجالس الصوفية راح أحدهم يُطيل حديثه عن الأسماك، فارتاب أحدُ الجلوس بمدى معرفته وقال له متسائلاً:

أتعرفُ السّمك حقًّا؟ قال الرجلُ كيف لا أعرفه وقد قضيتُ كلّ عمري في أسفار البحر! قال السائلُ: فاشرح لنا أمره وفصِّل لنا وصفه. قال الرجل: ما أسهل هذا .. السمكُ حيوانٌ شبيهٌ بالجمل وله قرنان! قال السائل: صه أيها الأحمقُ، أنت لا تفرّق حتى بين الثور والجمل، فلا عجب أن تجهل صفة السّمكِ. وهكذا هم النّاسُ في العادةِ، إنهم بلا تمييز وبلا عقل، وبناء على ذلك كلّه، قرّ الرأي مني ألا أطلب إلاّ الإنسان الكامل. قال شمسٌ وهو يُنهي حديثه: “وفكرتُ بيني وبين نفسي: لا بد أن رفيقي موجود في مكان ما على وجه هذه الأرض، فلا يُعقلُ أن العالم المحتشدُ بهذا العدد الهائل من البشر، يخلو من إنسانٍ واحدٍ فقط، وهو الذي أتمنى لقاءه.”

“If we were all looking for something 'easy come and easy go', then all of our lives would be easy. The problem is that we look for something real, don't we? And it is this longing for what is real, that makes finding the right person to be the most difficult task in the world. You can marry someone and promise the rest of your life to the person, only to find out later that this person makes you feel lonely. If we had no innate longing for true love and for true partnership, then none of us would have any problems! Therefore, the most frightening question to ponder upon, is, 'what if true love does not exist; what if the real stuff isn't real at all?' In such a case, life would be meaningless. I suppose I would rather believe in love relentlessly, than live in this world meaninglessly.”

Bessel van der Kolk
“When you have a persistent sense of heartbreak and gutwrench, the physical sensations become intolerable and we will do anything to make those feelings disappear. And that is really the origin of what happens in human pathology. People take drugs to make it disappear, and they cut themselves to make it disappear, and they starve themselves to make it disappear, and they have sex with anyone who comes along to make it disappear and once you have these horrible sensations in your body, you’ll do anything to make it go away.”
Bessel A. van der Kolk
