“An unlucky rich man is more capable of satisfying his desires and of riding out disaster when it strikes, but a lucky man is better off than him...He is the one who deserves to be described as happy. But until he is dead, you had better refrain from calling him happy, and just call him fortunate.” MenDesireRichCallingLuckyCapableDeserveStrikesDisasterFortunateSatisfyingRidingBetter OffRefrainRich ManUnluckyLucky Man Author:Solon
“There is something so sad about going online and seeing almost everyone shouting ‘Notice me, notice me!’ Which is such a human desire—to be acknowledged. But me responding to that with some sort of ‘You’re noticed, you’re seen’ only perpetuates the loneliness. Because I’m not seeing you; I’m not noticing you. And whoever you are, you so deserve to be noticed and valued. I feel lucky to have not grown up with the Internet because it forced me to get out, struggle and be so messy.” FeelsHumansDesireStruggleSeeingLonelinessInternetLuckyDeserveOnlineMessyRespondingShoutingNoticingSo SadNotice MeNoticing You Author:Taylor Schilling
