Epictetus
Philosophy is the only area to search for such answers.
This is my favourite Emily Dickinson poem:To fight aloud, is very brave -
But gallanter, I know
Who charge within the bosom
The Calvalry of Wo -
~Emily Dickinson
"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets hurt."
Buddha.
I seem to remember it was this guy's post: I Love Noise — Tinnitus from Shooting Guns without Hearing Protection | Tinnitus Talk Support Forum that elicited that response from me.- @Damocles, 2021
"However, the past holds the secrets to our hang ups. If we were neglected and/or abused, we will still feel 'no good' and unworthy of the enjoyment of love and happiness.Don't be ruled by your past. Don't be crippled by the past. Let the past be the past and focus on what is ahead.
'Humanity renders god an irrelevance.'"Humanity is a God in ruins."
R. W. Emerson
