# Under peaceful conditions, the warlike man attacks himself.
> Authentic strength emanates from those who exude unwavering confidence without seeking validation from others. Liberated from the need to prove themselves, they embody resilience and self-assurance with every move they make.
> **Knowledge is a paradox. The more you understands, the more one realizes the vastness for his ignorance.**
> If you can get a mental image of the person you would most like to become, begin now to act as that person would act in everything you do. Gradually, imperceptibly, you will actually become that person. It goes back to what the great German poet and philosopher Goethe once said: before you can do something, you must first be something. Before you can do what you would most like to do, you must first become the person who could do it. A woman cooking dinner has only to act like a great chef to turn out a better meal. The student who begins to act like a top student will begin to get better grades. You can even look much better by simply acting like the person you would most like to look like and be like. The secret is to get and hold fast in your mind the mental image of the person you would most like to be. Then, in every situation, you act and talk as you feel that person would. You make the kind of decisions you think that person would. This is the way to constantly grow into a better, more effective person. Remember, the journey to becoming your best self begins with a single step. - Earl Nightingale
Strange, isn’t it?
You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn’t even lived a second of your life.
The world is filled with people who think they know you. Listen to your own voice. Only you can tell if it aligns with what you want or not. Because it’s funny “You’re all you have and you never even learned to like yourself at all.
Isn’t it funny though how everyone had a different perception of you in their mind. But everyone expects you to be responsible for each of those perceptions they have created for you in their heads. Yet when you begin to ignore these perceptions it seems like it’s an issue even though you’re just being you. Each version of you has their own cycles of life and death. You may ‘Die’ in somebody else’s heart, just like how you are ‘born’ when you meet someone new.
> The brave man is he who overcomes not only his enemies but his pleasures.
> You will never know who I am in reality because the depth of my existence exceeds the limit of your understanding.
> The cruelest way to hurt someone is to win their heart and then leave, leaving them torn between despair and insanity.
> Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and it is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself throughout history.
> Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun. The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth. the secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.
> When integrity falters, trust crumbles,Leaving friendships hanging by a thread. Handle trust with care, for it's the fabric that binds. In the intricate tapestry of friendships, trust forms the sturdy threads that bind souls together. It's a delicate balance, easily disrupted by the slightest breach of integrity. Once trust is compromised, the very foundation upon which the friendship is built begins to tremble. Like a fragile fabric, even the strongest bond can unravel when integrity is called into question. Every word, action, and choice carries the weight of maintaining this sacred trust. It's a solemn responsibility to honor the integrity of our connections, for when trust is broken, it's not just a fracture in the relationship but a wound to the soul. Therefore, let us nurture and safeguard the trust bestowed upon us, cherishing the strength it brings to our friendships and understanding that it's the cornerstone upon which lasting bonds are built.
> Swallow patience, for if it kills you, you'll die a martyr, and if you live, you'll live honourably
> In the intricate tapestry of existence, pain and suffering are threads woven into the very fabric of life. For those endowed with a profound intellect and a heart that knows depths beyond measure, the burden of sorrow becomes an inevitable companion on their earthly journey. It is the price they pay for the gift of insight, for the ability to perceive the world in all its rawness and complexity. Indeed, it is often the truly great souls who bear the heaviest burdens of sadness, for they are acutely attuned to the injustices and sorrows that afflict humanity. Yet, it is through their profound empathy and compassion that they find meaning amidst the darkness, illuminating the path for others with the light of their wisdom and understanding. Thus, while their hearts may be weighed down by the weight of suffering, it is this very sorrow that elevates them to greatness, forging within them a strength and resilience that transcends the trials of earthly existence.
> When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.
> You are the honored guest. Do not weep like a beggar for pieces of the world.
> The actual concept of Superman is not a mythological flying object or fantasy character in a comic book made for a kiddo entertainment purpose. The metaphysical significance of Superman was first coined as Übermensch by the legendary German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his most famous & influential work 'Thus Spokes Zaratustra', lately in the 1800 Century. When Nietzsche made the revolutionary statement "God is Dead" which not only revolutionized the later works of great philosophers influenced by Nietzsche but also immensely affected the Western World & its social order. Lately, he had introduced Übermensch, one of his Superlative ideas as the alternative replacement of the religious value that was based on the idea of God. Übermensch or Superman, the ideal type of Weberian concept, who creates his own value & does never rely on any structural standard of a predetermined value of any specific religion that is injected by the birth of an individual and eventually enslaves and corrupts the structure of being, through its series of a chain of insidious moral beliefs that determines the predestination & fate of humanity. Superman, the ideal type, is one of the most influential & undeniable ideas for humanity, that rejects the submission of humanity and its fate to the victimhood of slave morality but inspire to overcome & transcend the value principle of religious dogma by invincible human will. Superman is someone who says ‘YES’ to everything that comes his way; a being who can be their own determiner of value, sculptor of their characters and circumstances into an empowered, ecstatic whole, and fulfill their ultimate potential to become who they truly are. Nietzsche elucidated that Übermensch means being a super-version of self, is psychologically so powerful that who would embrace & transcend suffering, loneliness, destruction, fear, risk, and all forms of sorrow - he would heroically look at the terrible aspects of existential crisis, reject submission to their inexorable fate, and resoundingly say - 'Bring It On'. He would live dangerously in a constant state of creativity and his quest for greatness and would end only in his inevitable death.
> I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness a real thorough-going illness.
> Man shoulders the burden of humanity as a whole, or else he’s nothing.
> Half of life is lost in charming other. The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others. Leave this play. You have played enough.
> One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
