“Fitur tombol alami untuk kesenangan pada manusia"
***
Ada 20 hormon kebahagiaan di dalam tubuh manusia.
Salah satunya
beta-Endorfin (β-Endorfin), sejenis narkotika alami yang dibentuk di otak dan memiliki efek analgesik sangat kuat.
Efek kerja β-Endorfin 500 kali lebih poten daripada morfin sintetis.
Dan... Beta-Endorfin punya pengaruh besar terhadap
kesehatan.
Endorfin memberikan kenyamanan baik secara fisik (terutama dalam mengontrol rasa nyeri), maupun
secara emosional dengan hadirnya perasaan senang (euphoria), gembira, dan damai.
Dan, tidak seperti narkotik
sintetis yang menimbulkan efek samping tidak nyaman serta membahayakan; (seperti mual, gatal-gatal, konstipasi saluran
pencernaan, hingga depresi nafas), endorfin tidak memiliki efek samping yang buruk ataupun efek ketergantungan (adiktif).
Namun untuk dapat mengeluarkan zat berharga ini, perlu ada stimulasi ekstra. Ada beberapa aktivitas yang dikenal kini dapat
memancing keluarnya hormon endorfin, antara lain makan
(terutama saat menyantap menu kesukaan), berolahraga,
melakukan hubungan pasutri, dan bermeditasi (dzikir).
Tapi, menariknya,...
hormon ini ternyata juga keluar sesuai cara kita merespons kejadian atau memaknai suatu peristiwa atau berkaitan dengan kondisi tertentu, seperti perasaan diterima di komunitas.Lebih lanjut endorfin pun bersangkut paut dengan kegembiraan, kesabaran dalam mengatasi kesulitan hidup.
Dan yang lebih menarik lagi, kemampuan seseorang melakukan hal-hal altruistis, semisal memperjuangkan
keadilan dan kesejahteraan bagi orang lain, juga memantik pengeluaran hormon istimewa ini.
Informasi sainsnya, endorfin jika telah keluar, tidak memiliki efek umpan baliknya terhadap tubuh.
Berbeda dengan "hormon-hormon emergency” (mis: adrenaline, nor adrenaline) yang punya efek samping
membahayakan bila terpacu secara intens dan berlebihan bagi tubuh, sehingga selalu ada mekanisme kompensasi
untuk menyeimbangkan atau menetralkannya.
Keberadaan hormon ajaib seperti endorfin ini sebetulnya menjadi bukti yang terang benderang bahwa secara biologis manusia dibekali fitur untuk dapat merasakan bahagia secara alami.

“Fitz Allen had 'traveled;' and that is generally understood to mean to go abroad and remain a period of time long enough to grow a fierce beard, and fierce mustache, and cultivate a thorough contempt for everything in your own country.”

“Fitz, I had a family. I had a sarcastic, well-meaning mother and I had a thoughtful, caring sister. I had a life, Fitz, and goals. I wanted to go to Oxford, I wanted to be someone, I wanted to become a professor! I wanted to write books and see the world!

“Fitz laughed. You really are adorable when you worry.”

“Fitz offered Sophie his arm, and she tried to ignore the way her insides fluttered at the gesture. He was probably only doing it because everyone knew that climbing things wasn’t her strengths- particularly when she was wearing heels. But her face grew warm as she hooked her elbow around his.
It hit even warmer when he told her, “I’m glad you’re here.”

“Fitz's door was closed, so she knocked before going in.
"I told you, Mr. Snuggles's visiting hours are over," he called through the door.
"What about your visiting hours?" she asked.
"Oh! I thought you were Keefe."
Sophie opened the door. "I get that a lot.”

“Fitz’s eyes never left Sophie’s as he let Biana lead them for forward, offering one last smile before he left.
It was only a half a smile.
But she knew it was just for her.”

“Fitz? What kind of name was Fitz?”

“Fitz yawned, and she patted Mr. Snuggles on the head as she stood to leave. He mumbled something, the words too sleepy to be coherent. But Sophie could've sworn he'd said, "Miss you.”

“Fitz: How bad is it? Nighteyes: Mind your own business. Fitz: You ARE my business. Nighteyes: Sharing pain doesn’t loosen it. Fitz: I’m not sure about THAT.”
“Fitz: Shall we get up tomorrow and go looking for a wild pig? Nighteyes: I didn’t lose any wild pigs, did you?”
“Fitzcarraldo is a mad dreamer. He's willing to sacrifice everything in order to make his vision of an opera house. That metaphor of pulling the boat over the mountain is so integral to anyone making any creative effort. It's that universal Sisyphean struggle.”
“Fitzcarraldo is that metonymic character that's unwilling to give up on his dreams. Meeting Walter was the point in which all of these dreams coalesced into a very real person with a very real story.”
“Fitzgerald coined the phrase the 'Jazz Age,' and now we're living in the Hip-Hop Age.”
“Fitzgerald could sense that America was poised on the edge of a vast transformation, and wrote a novel bridging his moment and ours. The Great Gatsby made manifest precisely what Fitzgerald’s contemporaries couldn’t bear to see, and thus it is not only the Jazz Age novel par excellence, but also the harbinger of its decline and fall.”

“Fitzgerald describes the social disillusionments and ballroom romanticism of the young people of the upper classes and the loneliness of Gatsby, who gives large parties and has an extensive social life; yet he is lonely, and his guests scarcely know him.... Hemingway's characters live in a tourist world, and one of their major problems is that of consuming time itself. It is interesting to observe that his works are written from the stand point of the spectator. His characters are usually people who are looking--looking at bullfights, scenery, and at one another across cafe tables.”
“Fitzgerald focused on you---even riveted on you---and if there was one thing you were sure of, it was that whatever you happened to be talking about was the most important matter in the world. A further seduction was his smile---quick, tight, and very appealing. It was not so much a smile as a flash of confidence in you and your mortal possiblities.”

“Fitzgerald has charm. It's a silly word, but it's an exact word for me. I like 'The Great Gatsby' and it's sad, gay nostalgia.”
“Fitzgerald never got rid of anything; the ghosts of his adolescence, the failures of his youth, the doubts of his maturity plagued him to the end. He was supremely a part of the world he described, so much a part that he made himself its king and then, when he saw it begin to crumble, he crumbled with it and led it to death.”
“Fitzgerald's attachment to those who had shared his time and experience here on earth, his sense of identity with them, his caring---that is perhaps the final burden and beauty of these letters.”

“Fitzgerald said a very interesting thing in his diary; that human life proceeds from the good to the less good - that is, it's always worse as you go on. That's true.”
“Fitzwilliam sauntered into his study without so much as a by your leave, and in his wake followed Anne and Georgiana. Darcy directed a pointed look at his sister, knowing it was likely at her instigation that they had come, but for once Georgiana did not duck her head or avoid his gaze; instead, his kitten of a sister seemed to have turned into a tiger overnight, and Darcy wondered what other havoc Miss Elizabeth would wreak on his life.”

“Five a.m. was a blank-faced, indigo wall, trying to press her back into the house, into bed. Five a.m. didn’t want to be messed with or questioned. It wasn’t the insidious shifting shadow miasma of midnight. It was an angry schoolmarm that didn’t expect to be challenged.”

“Five actors playing allotted parts on a set stage; and now he, for whom no part had been written, had walked onto the stage unexpectedly, because one of the players had turned rebel, as she had once before. He threw everything out of focus, and them into a fever. The heat and intensity of these flying questions was enough to make a man with even partially trained clairvoyant faculties feel as if he sat in a room filled with flashing fireflies.
He took warning and withdrew himself to a cold inner isolation, as he knew how to do, even while laughing and talking with surface ease. It would not do to let his mind become clouded with emotion; or open any door of his imagination. But the impressions that came across that safer inner distance did not make his companions seem less dramatic, more normal: they were still out of focus. Something about the picture was distorted, even to a clear vision. The sense of evil was as strong as ever although the lurking Presence seemed to have retreated into a far background.
He saw presently what the distortion was.
Their modern figures were somehow incongruous in the old house, not at home. Like actors who had somehow got onto the wrong stage, onto sets with which their voices and costumes clashed. Interlopers. Or else-actors of an old school dressed up in an unbecoming masquerade.
Witch House was an old house. Not old as other houses are old, that remain beds of the continuous stream of life, of marriages and births and deaths, of children crying and children laughing, where the past is only part of the pattern, root of the present and the future. Joseph de Quincy, dead nearly a quarter of a thousand years, was still its master: he had been strong, so strong that no later personality could dim or efface him here where he had set his seal.
"He left his evil here when he could no longer stay himself," Carew thought. "As a man with diphtheria leaves germs on the things he has handled, the bed he has lain in. Thoughts are tangible things; on their own plane they breed like germs and, unlike germs, they do not die. He may have forgotten; he may even walk the earth in other flesh, but what he has left here lives."
As probably it had been meant to do. For the man whose malignance, swollen with the contributions of the centuries, still ensouled these walls would not have cared to build a house or found a family except as a means to an end. Witch House was set like a mold, steeped in ritual atmosphere as a temple.
Dangerous business, for who could say that such a temple would not find a god? There are low, non-human beings that coalesce with and feed on such leftover forces: lair in them.”

“Five centuries from now - barring unimaginable catastrophe - the moon will be developed real estate. There's economic incentive to exploit the moon - the helium-3 will be useful in powering fusion reactors, and the rare earth elements could supplant the limited terrestrial supply of these materials.”
“Five common traits of good writers: (1) They have something to say. (2) They read widely and have done so since childhood. (3) They possess what Isaac Asimov calls a "capacity for clear thought," able to go from point to point in an orderly sequence, an A to Z approach. (4) They're geniuses at putting their emotions into words. (5) They possess an insatiable curiosity, constantly asking Why and How.”
“Five core principles that center on responsibility will take company performance to a new level. They help corporate leaders expand their horizons, rethink their jobs, and reshape the role of their business in society. These attributes, fully embraced, separate the net positive companies from the merely well-run and well-meaning businesses:
- Ownership of all impacts ans consequences, intended or not
- Operating for the long-term benefit of business and society
- Creating positive returns for all stakeholders
- Driving shareholder values as a result, not a goal
- Partnering to drive systemic change”

“Five days a week I drive from our home to the Episcopal Cathedral Center of Los Angeles where I have an office, my computer, and a wonderful sense of community - especially nurtured by the presence of several younger gay men and women who are good friends.”
