A batch of the best highlights from what Miroslav's read, .
Languages differ not only in how they build their sentences, but also in how they break down nature to secure the elements to put in these sentences….By these more or less distinct terms we ascribe a semi-fictitious isolation to parts of experience. English terms, like ‘sky, hill, swamp,’ persuade us to regard some elusive aspect of nature’s endless variety as a distinct THING, almost like a table or chair. Thus, English and similar tongues lead us to think of the universe as a collection of rather distinct objects and events corresponding to words. Indeed, this is the implicit picture of classical physics and astronomy—that the universe is essentially a collection of detached objects of different sizes.”
Re-Create Your Life
Morty Lefkoe
Jste-li vysoce empatičtí, snažíte se v druhých vidět to nejlepší a pomáhat
těm, o nichž si myslíte, že se trápí, zejména pokud na vás použijí trik s lí-
tostí – jakékoli jednání, které vyvolává soucit za účelem manipulace –, aby
vás přiměli vidět je jako oběti, i když ve skutečnosti jsou pachateli. Aby ve
vás vzbudili soucit, budou toxické osoby a narcisté vyprávět o svém špat-
ném dětství, problémech se závislostmi a jiných těžkostech.
Jak se bránit toxickým lidem, manipulátorom a sociopatom

The results indicate that we generally judge others to be less trustworthy than ourselves. If most of the people you work with are also like our survey respondents, they are making the same judgments. That means it is very likely some of the people you work with judge you to be less trustworthy than you consider yourself to be. Your first thought may be that they are mistaken. Certainly you don’t intend to act in ways others view as untrustworthy, so they must be misinterpreting your intentions.
