Book cover for Man's Search for Meaning
At such a moment it is not the physical pain which hurts the most (and this applies to adults as much as to punished children); it is the mental agony caused by the injustice, the unreasonableness of it all.

Oliver Burkeman
“that hints at a partial solution to the problem of an overly instrumentalised life. We might seek to incorporate into our daily lives more things we do for their own sake alone – to spend some of our time, that is, on activities in which the only thing we’re trying to get from them is the doing itself.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It

Oliver Burkeman
“our culture’s ideal is that you alone should control your schedule, doing whatever you prefer, whenever you want – because it’s scary to confront the truth that almost everything worth doing, from marriage and parenting to business or politics, depends on cooperating with others, and therefore on exposing yourself to the emotional uncertainties of relationships.”
Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It

Roberta Cava
“You can't control other people's behaviour, but you can conrol your responses to it.”
Roberta Cava, Dealing with Difficult People - How to deal with nasty customers, demanding bosses and uncooperative colleagues

“have demonstrated that giving money to poor families: Does not reduce the amount that adults work, but does reduce child labor; Raises school attendance; Increases economic autonomy; Increases women’s decision-making power; Leads to greater diversity in diet. Stimulates more use of health services.”
Peter Singer, The Life You Can Save: How to Do Your Part to End World Poverty

Robert Skidelsky
“In a world devoted to the satisfaction of private wants, the good life can be at best a marginal concern, an affair of eccentrics and enthusiasts. Its adherents are liable to be plagued by the thought that they are not 'up to' the pressures of competition, that their ideals are a mere mask for failure. Thus, although it is true that a liberal society permits any number of visions of the good life, it is by the same token hospitable to none of them.”
Robert Skidelsky & Edward Skidelsky
