So Much Wisdom In These Lines - A Must Read For Everyone

[Donald]

"The world is not so simple that we can just   make and follow rules about what is right and wrong. We seek an understanding of ourselves so that we can know what we ought to do in any given situation. You will gradually replace the beliefs you hold with truths you discover. 

Self-knowledge is a more reliable guide to behavior than adherence to arbitrary imposed standards, though both are susceptible to error. You will make mistakes no matter which path you follow, but mistakes made on the path of self discovery will correct themselves, while those made on blind adherence to subjective standards simply perpetuate the folly".

To commit mistakes is not wrong — commit as many mistakes as possible,because that is the way you will be learning more. But don´t commit the same mistake again and again, because that makes you stupid.

@Donald what book

[Nahm]

Yes. Codependency looks lovely, but usually turns into blame.

@Inglorious Thick Face Black Heart , it is such a surprise. This book appeared "Machiavellian" to me , but  ...I was wrong

There are no mistakes. If there were, everything that exists, this entire universe, is a mistake.
