And that’s your real problem. Not the hand sanitizer. Not the TV remote. I once heard an artist say that when a person has no problems, the mind automatically finds a way to invent some. I think what most people—especially educated, pampered middle-class white people—consider “life problems” are really just side effects of not having anything more important to worry about.”

“We should prioritize values of being honest, fostering transparency, and welcoming doubt over the values of being right, feeling good, and getting revenge. These “democratic” values are harder to maintain amidst the constant noise of a networked world. But we must accept the responsibility and nurture them regardless.”

“Ironically, this fixation on the positive—on what's better, what's superior—only serves to remind us over and over again of what we are not, of what we lack, of what we should have been but failed to be.

“It lasers in on what you perceive your personal shortcomings and failures to already be, and then emphasizes them for you. You learn about the best ways to make money because you feel you don’t have enough money already. You stand in front of the mirror and repeat affirmations saying that you’re beautiful because you feel as though you’re not beautiful already. You follow dating and relationship advice because you feel that you’re unlovable already. You try goofy visualization exercises about being more successful because you feel as though you aren’t successful enough already.”

“عندما تهتم بأشياء أكثر عددًا مما يجب، وعندما تهتم بكل شيء وبكل شخص، فسوف تشعر بأن من حقك أن تكون مرتاحًا سعيدًا، وبأن كل شيء ينبغي أن يكون مثلما تريده تمامًا . لكن هذه حالة مَرَضية . وسوف تأكُلك حيًا . سوف ترى في كل نزاعٍ معك ظلمًا واقعًا عليك، وسوف ترى في كل تحدٍّ فشلًا لك، وفي كل إزعاج إهانة شخصية، وفي كل اختلاف خيانة . سوف تكون محصورًا داخل جدران رثائك لنفسك، ضمن جحيم على قياس رأسك ليس وقوده شيئًا غير تبجّحك بنفسك وما تظن أنك تستحقه، جحيمٌ يكرر ويعيد تلك الحلقة الجحيمية التي تكرر نفسها في حركة مستمرة لا تصل بك إلى أي مكان .”
