"It also was where children were supposed to learn, as if the preceeding fourteen or fifteen years hadn't already made it painfully clear, that generals outrank colonels who, in turn, outrank majors and captains and lieutenants and everyone, but everyone, outranks children. Within the ranks of children, boys always outrank girls."

- An unquiet mind, by K. R. Jamison

people diagnosed with bipolar I disorder can also have mixed episodes, or what some physicians refer to as dysphoric mania. According to the DSM-IV-TR, this means that you have met the criteria for major depressive disorder and mania nearly every day for at least a week. Some people describe mixed mania as the “tired but wired” feeling. You can feel extraordinarily pessimistic and hopeless, fatigued, and unable to concentrate, but still feel “revved,” anxious, irritable, driven, and sleep deprived, with your thoughts moving very rapidly.

Why would some people die for a loved person?... I can't grasp the sense of it

It just doesn't seem comprehensible 🤦‍♂

- Death of Seneca by Jacques-Louis David

موت سينيكا، هي لوحة لجاك لوي دافيد عام ١٧٧٣، تصور اللحظات الأخيرة للفيلسوف الرواقي سينيكا، حيث أن إمبراطور روما نيرون أمر بأن ينتحر الفيلسوف. فبدأ عملية الانتحار بالتعثر. لم يجرِ الدم بسرعة كافية في جسده الهرم حتى بعد ان مزق شاريين كاحليه ومؤخرتي ركبتيه، لذا طلب تحضير كوب من سم الشوكران، ولكن رغبته بإتباع المثال الأثيني كانت عبثية. شرب السم من دون ان يكون له ادنى تأثير. وبعد محاولتين فاشلتين طلب وضعه في حمام بخار كي يختنق حتى الموت ببطء، حيث سيتعذب ولكن بثبات، رابط الجأش رغم اضطرابات القدر.

حسب الفيلسوف سينيكا فإن البنية الأساسية في قلب كل إحباط: تعارض أمنيةٍ مع واقع قاسٍ.
يجب أن نتمكن من بلوغ الحكمة حين نتعلم أن لا نفاقم استعصاء العالم من خلال ردود أفعالنا، ونوبات الغضب، ورثاء الذات، والقلق، والسخرية المريرة، والتعالي، والبارانويا. لا بد من تطويع أنفسنا مع اللااكتمالية المتلازمة مع الوجود!

"You have to regard yourself as a cloud, because, you see, clouds never make mistakes. Did you ever see a cloud that was misshaped? Do you ever see a badly designed wave?... No, they always do the right thing"

- Alan Watts

"Be a cloud"
A poetic summarization of Daoism and Zen philosophy...

"Life can be a burden.

It isn’t for wimps, the soft, or the faint of heart. It’s a raw game that dishes out raw deals on a daily basis."
