“When one nation is at war with another nation, the political machine does everything it can to vilify the people of the other nation, so it makes it easier to kill them. Which is understandable and it's happened this way throughout history.” PeopleWayDoeWarPoliticalNationsHappenedEasierMachinesVilify Author:Alexander Siddig
“In every civilization, life grows easier. Men grow lazier in consequence. We have a picture of what happened to the individual Greek. (I cannot look at history, or at any human action, except as I look at the individual.) The Greeks had good food, good witty talk, pleasant dinner parties; and they were content. When the individual man had reached that condition in Athens, when the thought not of giving to the state but of what the state could give to him, Athens' freedom was doomed.” MenGivingHumansLooksStatesActionIndividualGrowsPartyHappenedConditionsEasierCivilizationConsequenceWittyDinnerGreekPleasantDoomedEntitlementGood FoodDinner PartyAthensHuman Actions Author:Edith Hamilton
“If a girl breaks up with me, I want her to just die, just be dead. Not 'cause I hate her so much as it's just easier for when my friends go, 'Hey, what happened?' 'Oh, she's dead.

She was loving me, but she's dead.'” IfsWantStillsHateDiesGirlCausesBreakHappenedEasierMy FriendsDatingI HateHeyLoving MeFunny DatingHate HerI Hate Her Author:Adam Sandler
“The last few decades have been marked by a special cultivation of the romance of the future. We seem to have made up our minds to misunderstand what has happened; and we turn, with a sort of relief, to stating what will happen-which is apparently much easier...The modern mind is forced towards the future by a certain sense of fatigue, not unmixed with terror, with which it regards the past.” MindHas BeensMadeSeemsHappensLastsPastRomanceCertainTurnsLearningHappenedModernSpecialEasierRegardTerrorDecadesReliefFatigueCultivation Author:Gilbert K.

“Every night for the next week, set aside ten minutes before you go to sleep. Write down three things that went well today and why they went well...Writing about why the positive events in your life happened may seem awkward at first, but please stick with it for one week. It will get easier. The odds are that you will be less depressed, happier, and addicted to this exercise six months from now.” WritingFirstsWellsMaySeemsTodayNightThreeNextSleepHappenedWeekMinutesEventsMonthsEasierExercisePleaseTenSixSticksEvery NightAwkwardOddsSix MonthsThree ThingsGoing To SleepNext WeekLife Happens Author:Daniel Kahneman
