We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't.

The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
-Deep Trivedi
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
-Deep Trivedi
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
If you lie to me, keep lying; don’t hurt me by suddenly telling the truth.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb

What great things are we going to accomplish that we apply so much of brain?

or not, what would happen? Wouldn't our very existence be destroyed?
-Deep Trivedi
