    Maybe ‘normal’ is the only choice I have. Maybe I will just have to accept my mediocre self and surrender to leading a mediocre, everyday existence. But I will fight it.

    No matter what moments you are living, or if there are people who dislike you, as long as you do not lose sight of the guiding star of ‘I contribute to others’, you will not lose your way, and you can do whatever you like. Whether you’re disliked or not, you pay it no mind and live free.

    If one is living in a such a way as to satisfy other people’s expectations, and one is entrusting one’s own life to others, that is a way of living in which one is lying to oneself, and continuing that lying to include the people around one.

    You are worried about other people looking at you. You are worried about being judged by other people. That is why you are constantly craving recognition from others.

    What another person thinks of you—if they like you or dislike you—that is that person’s task, not mine.

    When one seeks recognition from others, and concerns oneself only with how one is judged by others, in the end, one is living other people’s lives.

    If you change, those around you will change too. They will have no choice but to change.

    A lot of people think that the more friends you have the better, but I’m not so sure about that. There’s no value at all in the number of friends or acquaintances you have.
  • Novem MWhas quoted2 years ago
    When you are able to truly feel that ‘people are my comrades’, your way of looking at the world will change utterly. No longer will you think of the world as a perilous place, or be plagued by needless doubts; the world will appear before you as a safe and pleasant place. And your interpersonal relationship problems will decrease dramatically.
  • Novem MWhas quoted2 years ago
    The reason that so many people don’t really feel happy while they’re building up their success in the eyes of society is that they are living in competition. Because to them, the world is a perilous place that is overflowing with enemies.
