The Age Of Emotional Fragility

“We live in what is probably the most comfortable era our species has known. In practical terms, the body is safer than it has ever been. And yet something in us seems permanently on edge. A colleague's tone lingers in the mind long after the conversation has ended. A careless remark from a friend quietly ruins the evening. We carry mental hurts the way earlier generations carried physical injuries, sometimes even longer.

Live for something you can die for. Let that be your #career.

A #parent who has not questioned her own conditioning, who has not sat with her own fear and traced it to its source, who has not asked what she is outside her own social performance: such a parent has no light to offer. The state of the #child is a faithful record of the state of the parent, and the relationship with the child cannot change until the parent begins to change what she is.

Who Controls Your Mood?

Our mood is always dependent on others and situations. Results have not been up to your expectations. So now you require a morale booster, some motivating speaker. The moment that fellow is gone, your energy also goes away. But there is another way of living. Deep within myself, I find a point that no external situation can touch. Whatever happens, happens on the surface. That will remain stable, uninvolved, a non-participant. Then you are really free.
