One of the first steps in gaining power is emotional regulation. Emotions block rational thinking.

Shield your iron fist in a velvet glove - Napoleon

The first section was really interesting however the second was quite boring. It was just a guy talking about his ancestry for so long. Let’s see how this last section is.

It’s out of the lull now and is picking up speed. Elizabeth just received the letter explaining all of Mr. Darcy’s reasonings for the “wrongs” that he supposedly committed. The way Austen writes is so intricate but fascinating to read.

I enjoy reading this book and it has a lot of insightful values that one should adhere to in order to have a stable and productive life.

Actually very good. It gives small snippets of each of the big Greek stories and I like that better than having to read a whole book about one. It tells you the character’s main story in just a few quick pages. One of the stories I liked the most was the one with Apollo that stated that crows always used to be white and one day Apollo didn’t receive valid information from a crow and scorched their wings.

Pretty interesting. I like understanding where all the symbolism originates.

This book is so good. I like how different it is from the movie like it’s so much deeper. Everything is described with so much more detail. And the language is extremely captivating.

It’s definitely getting better than the beginning part of it. See it’s good because I want to know how the story ends but rn it’s very stuck in the in between. Romance is decent but the plot isn’t really interesting atm. I have like 200 more pages so let’s hope it picks up.
