Humor is a way to show you’re smart without bragging.
Same as Ever
Morgan Housel
Imagine that you are standing on a theater stage. If the house lights are on, you’ll probably be able to see all the way to the back of the hall. But if you’re under a bright spotlight, you won’t be able to make out even the front row. That’s exactly how it is with our lives. It’s because we cast a dim light on our entire lives that we are able to see the past and the future. Or at least we imagine we can. But if one is shining a bright spotlight on here and now, one cannot see the past or the future anymore.
The Courage to Be Disliked
Ichiro Kishimi
Smiling, Siddhartha watched him go. He still loved him, this faithful anxious friend. And at that moment, in that splendid hour, after his wonderful sleep, permeated with Om, how could he help but love someone and something. That was just the magic that had happened to him during his sleep and the Om in him — he loved everything, he was full of joyous love towards everything that he saw. And it seemed to him that was just why he was previously so ill — because he could love nothing and nobody.
