When the mind turns into a place you have to fight your way through.
Γνώρισα ανθρώπους υπέροχους, που κλείνονταν στο σπίτι και στον εαυτό τους επειδή φοβούνταν. Φοβούνταν τα ψυχοσωματικά συμπτώματα αλλά και τα περίεργα βλέμματα του κόσμου. Γνώρισα ανθρώπους που πάλευαν με τις φοβίες και με τους ψυχαναγκασμούς τους. Γνώρισα ανθρώπους που δε μιλούσαν ποτέ για τις ιδεοληψίες τους, από φόβο μην τους παρεξηγήσει κάποιος. Γνώρισα ανθρώπους που τους παίδευαν οι σκέψεις τους, ανθρώπους που τους πολεμούσαν λογισμοί, ανθρώπους που μάχονταν μέρα νύχτα το ίδιο το μυαλό τους. Γ. Ελευθέριος Ελευθεριάδης.The author is a psychologist who writes about mental health and everyday emotional struggles for a general readership.

The look on a parent's face is a child's first mirror.
If your parents’ faces never lit up when they looked at you, it’s hard to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished. If you come from an incomprehensible world filled with secrecy and fear, it’s almost impossible to find the words to express what you have endured. If you grew up unwanted and ignored, it is a major challenge to develop a visceral sense of agency and self-worth.
The Body Keeps the Score · Bessel van der Kolk
The people who hold the world together are never the majority.
You may of course ask whether we really need to refer to “saints.” Wouldn’t it suffice just to refer to decent people? It is true that they form a minority. More than that, they always will remain a minority. And yet I see therein the very challenge to join the minority. For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best. So, let us be alert — alert in a twofold sense: Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of. And since Hiroshima we know what is at stake.
Man's Search for Meaning · Viktor E. Frankl
A few degrees at takeoff, a different city entirely.
The impact created by a change in your habits is similar to the effect of shifting the route of an airplane by just a few degrees. Imagine you are flying from Los Angeles to New York City. If a pilot leaving from LAX adjusts the heading just 3.5 degrees south, you will land in Washington, D.C., instead of New York. Such a small change is barely noticeable at takeoff—the nose of the airplane moves just a few feet—but when magnified across the entire United States, you end up hundreds of miles apart.
