Quotes

  • aashinkhas quoted2 years ago
    In my experience, your brain will need a year’s abstinence from the news before it’s capable of reading long texts without fatigue. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll regain your focus. And don’t give up if it’s hard at first. That’s true of everything worthwhile.
  • Faridhas quoted3 years ago
    Nintey-nine point nine per cent of all world events are outside your control. You have no influence on what’s happening in the world, where or how. It’s much more sensible to focus your energies on things you can control.
  • Faridhas quoted3 years ago
    Fear, annoyance, jealousy, anger and self-pity are predominately triggered these days by the news. You only have to read the comments underneath any online article. The hatred you find there is alarming, especially when you bear in mind that the website’s algorithms have already filtered out the nastiest ones automatically. News and comments about the news bring out the worst in humanity. Keep an airtight seal between yourself and this incubator of negativity, abandoning the hopelessly infected to the virus.
