Status Updates From The Art of Communicating

I def already read this decades ago but wasn’t sure til I started again.

“So when others judge you wrongly, you have to say that they are partly right but they have not seen the other parts of you. The other person only sees part of you, not the totality, so you don’t have to be unhappy at all.”

“You suffer deeply yet you pretend you don’t suffer. You’re being untruthful as a way of punishing the other person.”

“We consume not because we need to consume but because we’re afraid of encountering the suffering inside us”
