Praise and criticism come in countless forms, just like the many different ways people meet their end. When I receive compliments, I do not become arrogant, because that can be dangerous. As for criticism, I can accept it, but please do not attack my family or friends. No one has the right to judge another person. If there is a problem, direct it at me.
Many people imagine the worst about you simply to make themselves feel better.
Madness, like beauty, depends on context, and it has nothing to do with gender, age, race, or belief. In my understanding, madness is a deeply instinctive impulse that comes close to the essence of being human. Of course, whether someone becomes “crazy” is related to personality, but personality itself is shaped over time. I firmly believe that as living beings, everyone has impulses, and everyone has moments when they long to act recklessly.
Sometimes I even forget what kind of scenery I was searching for when I chose a more difficult path. From the very beginning, that road was destined to bring frustration and unanswered questions. Even so, I still feel incredibly fortunate to have everything I have today. For now, I want to set aside all those motivational slogans about becoming stronger through setbacks, take a deep breath, and relax a little. To feel joy and gratitude.
A person who shines brightly must first burn deeply within themselves. Those distant and mysterious landscapes may not truly be magnificent, but I still want to see where this force will eventually lead me.
If we were to count every flaw and imperfection, the list would never end. But everyone also possesses certain strengths. All we can do is rely on what we already have and face the world sincerely.
The greatest temptation in this world is actually cowardice. If we can become a little stronger, many things will no longer seem so frightening.
