“Allargare la propria cerchia di affetti vuol dire esporsi alle cose che possono andare male. Può sembrare un discorso cinico, ma lascio l'ottimismo agli avventati. Poiché la vita mi ha già preso a calci un paio di volte, ora adotto le mie precauzioni. Disarmo la sfiga, limitando il numero di persone che mi possono ferire. Da quando ho messo in pratica questa regola, la via vita fa meno paura.”

“Whenever you are hurt the intensity of the pain and your reaction to it depends on your personality, the stage you are in your life journey and “which you” was hurt. If the professional you was hurt - the hurt is relatively at a superficial level and can in fact sometimes translate to you improving yourself. If the adult in you was hurt it goes a little deep and often has visible retaliations such as anger, revenge, fighting. But if the child in an adult is hurt, that goes very deep, is often characterized by silence as a reaction and takes a long - long time to heal.”
