“Natural Giving: Anything we do in life which is not out of that energy, we pay for and everybody else pays for. Anything we do to avoid punishment, everybody pays for. Everything we do for a reward, everybody pays for. Everything we do to make people like us, everybody pays for. Everything we do out of guilt, shame, duty, or obligation, everybody pays for.” PeopleGivingEnergyNaturalPayDutyCommunicationShameGuiltRewardsPunishmentObligationNonviolent Communication Author:Marshall B.

“Writing itself, if not misunderstood and abused, becomes a way of empowering the writing self. It converts anger and disappointment into deliberate and durable aggression, the writer's main source of energy. It converts sorrow and self-pity into empathy, the writer's main means of relating to otherness. Similarly, his wounded innocence turns into irony, his silliness into wit, his guilt into judgment, his oddness into originality, his perverseness into his stinger.” IfsWayWritingMeanSelfTurnsEnergySourceSorrowJudgmentEmpathyGuiltDisappointmentWitPityInnocenceIronyEmpoweringOriginalityAggressionWoundedMisunderstoodDeliberateSelf PityOthernessSillinessOddnessPerverseness Author:Ted Solotaroff
