“Jacques said that his master said that everything good or evil we encounter here below was written on high.” SaidEvilWrittenMastersEncounters Author:Denis Diderot
“Imagine that someone said or did something cruel to you, but that you did not react in any way whatsoever – you did not become upset, resentful or even ruffled. You simply observed that this person was saying or doing something cruel, as though you were calmly observing the scene in a movie. You simply would not be stressed by what would appear to others to be a highly stressful encounter. Stress and cruelty affect us as profoundly as they do only because we react to them resentfully.” WayPersonsSaidImagineSceneStressCrueltyUpsetEncountersImagine ThatObservingStressedStressfulResentful Author:Roy Masters
