“All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.”
– Swami Vivekanand
Psychology
Silent Wounds
“Not all wounds are so obvious, walk gently in the life of others”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Normal is Abnormal
“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”
– Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited
Attention & Personality
“Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.”
– José Ortega y Gasset
Happy State of Mind
“Happiness is a state of mind, an intrinsic quality, a behavior one can develop with practice in any situation. You don’t need more to be happy. Neither do you need someone nor a particular situation or a particular thing to make you happy. It is your individual quality!!”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Happiness
“Happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think.”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Happiness Vs Silliness
“Sometimes a little silliness is all we need to get a better perspective of life’s greatest challenges. Silliness is the carefree, sometimes crazy, and often misunderstood stepsister of happiness. May we be a friend to both, and smile our way through life’s twists and turns.”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Pseudo Existence
“How pseudo are we in our thoughts, outlooks, words and action. What we say we don’t follow and that we follow we don’t believe in and that we believe in we don’t say. The eternal cause of dilemma of human existence and conflicts.”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Behavior Regulation
“You cannot always count on others to respect your feelings, even if you respect theirs. Being a good person does not guarantee that others will be good people. You only have control on yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.”
– Bhuvi M, Tapestry of Life & Soul
Creating Home
“Each of us can succeed building a house, successful you will be when you are able to create a home.” 🙂
