Quotes
- Sasha Midlhas quoted21 hours ago
:The shock each person experiences in the face of a traumatic event is going to be different. Just as an event we consider shocking would be passed over as no big deal in another society. It all depends on the cultural environment and mood, or how easy or hard it is to come to an agreement on the extraordinariness of a situation. I wouldn’t say you’re oversensitive. I’d say it’s your general regard for the powerless. You feel the same emotions towards victimised women as you do to your dogs. - Sasha Midlhas quoted21 hours agoI read something fascinating in a book recently. It’s from this book titled Conquering Shame and Codependency by Darlene Lancer where she explains that people who don’t try to gain something from outside of themselves are those who end up gaining the most, that self-esteem and pride come from letting go of external validation. It made me think about how I’m always trying to gain something from the outside. I’ve always craved external validation, whether it was through knowledge or affection or esteem. But it’s this very craving that indicates how I’m not enough to myself. I keep wanting to fix myself, to gain something better. It’s exhausting. Wouldn’t it be better for me to accept my flaws as they are?
- Sasha Midlhas quoted21 hours agoTo make a habit of continuing things and getting things done is in itself an excellent development. When one thinks, ‘I am depressed,’ it makes them stay at home more and be helpless and meet fewer people and get cut off from society. In such cases, it is the habits we developed when we were not depressed that help us slough off that depression. One might say they’re doing a certain thing because they’re depressed, but such behaviour may be exacerbated by a habit of withdrawing from society. If we make a habit of doing a certain thing when our serotonin levels are high (when our condition is good), the possibility of creating more good days by trying to be the selves we were at that optimal state would be that much greater.
