I've Read 30.000 Quotes, here are 300 Worth Spending Time On - ruclips.net/video/EXt7JIoDyHk/видео.html
A lot of these quotes really do not logically follow. For ex.:
"Theory is knowledge that doesn't work. Practice is when everything works and you don't know why"
Well a theory is a proven and thoroughly tested hypothesis that works for all known intents and purposes, so no.
Also, practice makes perfect? Not even sure how to reply to that as its nonsense. Of course you know it works and why. Thats why you practiced to produce repeatable results.
You guys buy this nonsense(?!)😒

"Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves, need, and clamor for, a leader," hits hard. These days, there's too many people out there not interested in taking responsibility for themselves as adults should and we all suffer for their foolishness.
And here we are.
Yes too many people have grown accustomed to popping a pill for everything. Quick fixes, instant gratification.
It’s no wonder we were so easy to oppress & control.
Sounds like there is a real necessity for a Fuehrer.
Only if you believe you are suffering....
@@Sweptundertherug Yes, it's solely a matter of enterpretation.
"Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else" Hesse has always been a favorite of mind. His profound quotes inspire me every time I read them. Thank you so much for posting this, his books are so amazing to read.
Not all of them. I don't know if the English title is "The Travel To Nürnberg". That would be the most immidiate translation I can come up with but it's somehow boring. Not as "The Glass Bid Game" or "The Steppenwolf" or "Siddharta"
They're brilliant.
Especially Siddharta.
I was told it was basis for a 3 hour long movie. Crazy for a book of only 120 pages. Haven't checked it. Haven't thought about the late 80's when we were much into Hesse in our circles.
@@chosen_ones777 Read it please at the earliest.
I think he was sado maso guy...
@@AK-su8be What? The Travel To Nürnberg?
I read it in the mid 80's.
It might have drowned in the brilliancy of the mentioned books and I was also into Kafka and a lot into science besides playing chess, football and music (guitar and drums) in that period and running my import/export business (guess it's called shipping nowadays).
@@robertorpg2132No, just a tortured soul.
Siddhartha remains one of the best books I have ever read. For Hesse to have written in such detail about Buddhism and seeking enlightenment, it is obvious that he did quite a bit of searching on that path himself, and was not just writing creatively, or parroting second hand philosophy.
Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.
@johns I will suggest you to read "The Buddha and His Dhamma" you will find many more thing in that..
@@sunburn707 Thank you, I have never read that one and will have to check it out. Peace and blessings to you, thanks.
My favourite author. The man's work had already turned me inside out and changed me several times before I hit my 20s. Thank you so very much for this. It was received with all the gratitude of a thoughtful, beautiful and practical gift.

Hermann Hesse will always be one of my favorites. Demian was my first book, highly recommended.
That's the first Hesse's books I read when I was a teenager.
It impacted me.

I felt alone when my mum was alive, but I enjoyed the times we spent together, she never knew my unhappiness, only the torment I caused. Now she's gone since 29th of October 2022, my best friend in life who I didn't show enough appreciation, but she knew I loved her. My dad died 9 days later, he couldn't live without her. My uncle went into hospital with diabetes issues, was making a full recovery and caught covid at the hospital, he ended up on life support in January and that was the end of his life. My worrying is gone, replaced with questions, anger, loneliness and sleepless nights. RIP
Dayum that's rough man.
Can't imagine how it is, hope I never have to.
My thoughts be with you, good luck and stay strong
Stay strong

I have read several of H. H’s books and have always loved his comforting, gentle strength.

"everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud" SO VERY TRUE, ISN'T IT?
Not really. That seems like BS.
@@KD-nk3ht It's contextual. An example by story -- A man has many friends, and in his friends are many flaws, but despite these flaws, he keeps them as friends. One day, he decides to voice his thoughts about his friends and their flaws to those friends. That man suddenly loses many of his friends to these words he speaks. The remaining few however become his best friends.
@@KD-nk3ht some jokes are funnier in one's head so it's definitely not bs
I don't get it, plz explain to me. why would one want to speak their mind? where's the tale in that?
"A house without love is a poor house, even if it has beautiful rugs covering its floors and precious wallpapers and pictures cover its walls."
Hermann Hesse was a great mind of intelligence and a poet and writer.
Thank you for his quotes.❤️
what about the love for paintings that follow you wherever you go? In someway they safely house your soul.
Hermann Hesse what a Swiss poet !!!
Love is everything♡
Conversely, a house without beautiful objects, pictures, furniture, rugs and all the texture, colour and comfort they bring to a room when chosen and arranged with a joyful and passionate eye is a house where love is neglected. That is a poor house, too.
@Jan B
Look at all the people living homeless on our streets and in all countries. Material things do not matter. Those that have homes of great beauty, that is fine.
I don't need anything grand. A little garden and nature and just be grateful one has a home to live in.

Just want to thank you for your content. I’ve made a habit each morning to take notes on my favorite quotes from each of the wise people you’re promoting. It’s such a positive light in a very dark world.
X Wow! The long Winter evenings must just fly by in your house!
One of my favourite authors. I must have read 'Siddarta' nine times. Also his short stories and 'Demian' are great. He was a very wise and old soul.
I can only recommend Narcissus and Goldmund, Beneath the wheel and Steppenwolf from Hermann Hesse. :)
I love all of his books. So deep stories.
The way Siddhartha has been written, one will feel that the author must have lived in India of those times. But Herman Hesse never even visited India. (but visited Srilanka, Malaysia and Indonesia) A must read for people on inner journey.
I loved his work of Siddhartha and Narcissus and Goldmund.
Name of my an is Siddhartha.
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
“If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.” Herman Hesse
Most relatable quote for sure
I know one that is disturbing. when one acts on whim and immediately reverts to tactic 1, protect that of inner circle. I realized this and found this very disturbing.
witnessing another guy/dude/acquaintance/doubting friend. I mean immediate hunch/gut reaction, that in itself to me is disturbing. for I see emotional response not logical one. there is evil within. and I so hope to supress that in myself. see it as see being in everyone and I reject it being thing in everyone cause that in itself disturbs me. could be for even split second but see it, realize it is there. willingness to betray, if things set in ones persons way. while the other not. feel deep fear for so hope to drive it out of human nature. and of others. the unguided part of someone. like a beast within. what does this mean? that would betray for their own? but I realize one of hardest parts of being human being is knowing yourself. self-awareness factor/part. I say its hard because often we don't see our wrongs/they often escape us or remain invisible within us till a later date where it comes out. it's part where can't just tell someone and expect response you have to work it out for yourself. but with little knowledge how does one know?
could be within us somewhere deep inside and we wouldn't know. I realize we are in part all slaves to uncertainty. before question others we must first. question ourselves. what's wrong in someone else most accurately represents ours/ or seems most similar. its a bitter pill to chew. I know. cause none of us, I mean none. including myself would never like to admit to ordeals. but its necessary to drive out the hypocrisy. in ourselves. it is paramount.. our immediate knee jerk reactions for once (which I find disturbing in itself). but fear of self hypocrisy is something we all share or rather should share, from the educated person. it is ultimate nightmare scenario for us. for both self shame and humiliation aspect. having said that we are all hypocrites in some ordeals than others, not like something we human beings don't already know deep down. to different degrees.
Reminds me of the old expression, "Look in a mirror. There you will see your best friend and your worst enemy".
@@eNigma011 yes and its not just about what has happened but what might in future. core facets lie within. deep within. waiting to come out. were all capable of it. for me its negative influence and how it shapes attitude to other people. its a trap. we owe ourselves a favor for these parts. to do more than try. its insideous effect.
Cause thoughts eventually become actions. subtle dangerous. people who shit talk though I might empathise with them some degree aren't in best position to say who is this or who is that. I realize I been swayed. and its mistake ill never make again. to be frank I don't give a SHITE what other people think about others. shit talking others achieves nothing. I see those people as also having lot to learn as myself. if it means freeing myself of not treating another like shit, I remove myself. cause then relate negativity back to them. and end up saying something negative. my loyalty also change any time. any time. if to protect whats right.
Truly the most spiritual of European writers of the 20th century. His works address and stimulate the quester in each of us. His 'Siddhartha' inspired an entire generation to look to the East for truth long before the hippies and beatniks came along.
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
"For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfill themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow.
Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail.
A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.
When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. . . . Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one’s suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother.
So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness."
- From "Wandering: Notes and Sketches"
by Hermann Hesse (translated by James Wright)
This is beautiful ~Thank you for posting this ~❤
I have always perceived in trees Nature's silent monarchs.
"Loneliness is the way by which destiny endeavours to lead a man to himself". I love Hermann Hesse. Siddhartha instilled a sense of peace in me that I have enjoyed and benefitted from ever since!

"You are what you are, if you think you are." Duke Loftus, Macomb, IL, 1973.
This one is deep by Hermann Hesse:
"Everyone can perform magic, everyone can reach his goals, if he is able to think, if he is able to wait, if he is able to fast."
what does it mean? I read as as 'things small have bigger effect than one realize'? perhaps it is law of attraction working minute level.
@@tommychappell6359 The way I see it is: "Ignore distraction. Work hard. Adapt. And be patient about the results."
@@maximelagace I see it's like focus eventually becomes you if focus on it long enough. But focus itself (ambitious it is) and spirit would both determine that, and how long it takes.
@@maximelagace Problem is I don't know what I want. And I feel terrible because people at my age already do. And their AHEAD. I should not focus on them. But I do. Of course I should. One of them is half friend who is frienemy. I don't know what to make of him. But it's in territory that if let these people win. Then I'm betraying myself.
I mean like ego inflamed and would likely gain satisfaction over I if they do. Like rivalry. I don't see how supposed to read situation any other way, gaining traction. It concerns me a lot. I equate it with power. And right to power over someone else. I think it's stupid not to be worried. I'm Okay with letting humble people win but inferiors before me? See them as threat. Obvious answer likely be to work but work where and do what? I can't stand the guy. Be willing to suffer 24/7 than that crap. While don't take personally, take to direct threats.. I kinda.. do. Literally like venom in my vains. Have a genuine problem with this guy. He's a doctor (well respected position, the most respected maybe). Feel like giving up noone understands me. Why have feeling, that feel to be true. Things don't seem to be swing one way the other for me at all. As wished would. Lamenting it.
Hesse is a fantastic author I loved Siddhartha and Steppenwolf. I never have heard his quotes before but they are wonderful and I am sure very practical in life.
(Hesse) "Love your suffering. It is only your aversion to it that hurts."
Try telling that to the millions forced into concentration camps, who were forced to endure UNSPEAKABLE suffering at the hands of monsters who called themselves the 'master race'. "Very practical", my hairy butt.
Siddhartha called Alexander the Great a fool...
I doubted his wisdom since then...
Was thankful I found these words of wisdom! Close enough to be proverbs! Thank you Herman Hesse!

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." - Robert Frost
This is the type of statement made by someone who does NOT understand anything about life. Any fool can waste his life away dreaming up soppy aphorisms. I read Hesse's books when I was a young man, and thought them good. But re-reading them years later was to see how shallow they really are.
@@williambunter3311 How would you know? You are not offering anything other than degrading other's perspectives on Life
@@nagadorset If you really wish to acquire wisdom, Colin, then read the bible and accept Christ as your Saviour.
@@williambunter3311 So you denounce two literary giants and then all you offer in substitute is the same thing countless generations have been brainwashed with? Who do you suppose wrote The Bible? And why would ANYONE capable of thought in the 21st century accept as their saviour a Jew who was executed for crimes against the state twenty centuries ago?
@@williambunter3311 And if you REALLY want to acquire wisdom, learn to think for yourself, and stop sheepishly following a movement that tells you how to live your life.
Blindly abiding by someone else's doctrine does not make one wise, it makes one a slave.
In this age of social media narcissism and the shallowest of ideas taken as gospel, Hesse brings the clear light of wisdom back to life. Used to be required reading in schools. Steppenwolf was always my favorite of his books and revealed the framework for a life well lived.
Harry Haller failed to get the message right. But Pablo would be there, waiting.
Here's a good one - "Saying something in a deep, resonant voice doesn't necessarily make it true."
this HAS to be said in a deep, resonant voice lol
just means made a connection/node. perhaps? that's interesting.
or maybe resonate with inner core/identity that may be wrong.
issue with confirmation bias's, I genuinely beleive could live whole life
or 10 lives and never get to same conclusion. because everything seem
self supporting. but that's not always reality.

Hermann Hesse, one of my favorite writers.
I read all of his books.
Thank you. I've read most of book by Hesse when I was in highschool and on. Now at almost 75, I found that Hesse may have provided me with a base to get into Zen, Daisetz Suzuki, Myokonin (Shin Buddhism), etc. Listening to this felt like putting envelope to all that happened in that period from 17 to 75 years old - also with a sense that I found the eternal home (but to leave that home back to the world and to revisit the home every now and then. By listening to this I felt that I am communicating with Hesse as if in a different dimension - perhaps deeper if that is the word. Again, thank you...
🕊
I am going to post few videos related to my experience with Hesse at my channel - if interested, please check and send me any comment as you wish. Thanks, Kio
You have given me chills. I read Siddhartha as a young man and recently rebought the book to give to my daughter. It has been 30 years since I first read the book and his words have been ingrained in me. Thank You for sharing
@@kirkusarelius3365 Nice. I found these quotes well chosen. As much as I read most of his books, it is like meeting an old friend. I am guessing my interest in Zen which lasted 40+ years also by Daisetz Suzuki may have been influenced by Hesse. FYI I have a bunch of videos I keep posting at youtube if you are interested. Best wishes.
Zen won't get you to Heaven, Kiyoshi. Only the crucified, buried and risen Christ can give you eternal security.
One of the best author I read. Siddartha, Narcisse and Goldmund were chef d’œuvre!
These were all brilliant. Truly tragic that this insight is/has essentially become lost and dismissed in our day & age.
What do you mean? This video is three weeks old and already has 900k views. It’s not lost.
@@greglinsmythe3375 Never heard about this Poet and his insights are very rare to encounter in real live...
“Youth ends when egotism does. Maturity begins when one lives for others.”
The sagacious quote I live by. I’ve long since lost my youth.
Egotism never dies, must be constantly held in check and we must learn to decipher between ego and injustice....youth also should never die, we must always be youthful pertaining life but not naive....and maturity is learning to become balanced in all things with consistency. Jesus Christ is really the answer.....all these philosophers had have, half an understanding. "For I tell you unless, you become like these children, you shall not see the Kingdom" -Jesus Christ.
This quote is too simple and unrealistic a person needs balance. If you simply live for yourself you become a douchebag. If you simply live for others you will become completely drained and taken advantage of. You need to find balance.
@@jimmbear3998 Without Christ good luck attaining such balance. For human nature unregenerated cannot reach Godlike powers. The apostles teach us, if the believing righteous scarcely make it, where shall the unbelievers be, their reliance on their own willpower and attempt will forever fail them, for the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
@@leondrodonald7095 Living your life believing in christ is as believing you can fly after jumping off a tall building, as long as you're alive, your believes are proven correct. To me, both are foolish concepts, with the difference that people who tend to jump off buildings don't harass other people into following their example.

One of the writers I admire the most is Hermann Hesse.
I literally getting sleep because of this man voice 😴😴..😂😂
😂😂😂
These are the best of Hesse, and all I know about him. I know of nothing better, anywhere, anytime.
"everyone can reach his goal, if he can think dream and wait" best one 👌
Agree!!
He forgot to mention to act on it.
That is demonstrably untrue, and indeed an extremely stupid thing to say.
Thats one of my least favorite because its missing the action, but maybe that's my affinity for stoicism talking :)
One can wait all their life. Have to take action besides dreaming. But it takes patience not to lose focus. I've done also the waiting, years pass and not much things change. Someday.... someday never comes unless you act.
To be humble is to be sincere and fear is not an option
I am 99 years old. I have decided to learn these quotes before i get old
Good decision
"I appreciate you more than words can express." - Show appreciation with actions, not just words.
Yer name? Lol !
Hermann Hesse was a man who was a thinker, but with a simple mind.
Perhaps a lesson in itself: it doesn’t have be unnecessarily complicated.
"i relate to this guy a lot, he uses metaphor and language the same way i do" *googles* "sure enough, we have the same sign, he was born 5 days before me." CGJ: “We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season in which we are born.”
I do the same and it always pays off.
I thought for a second you were alluding to astrology, I'm glad you weren't lol.
Love his books especially Sidhartha
I think he knows about the life's truth! Thank you.
I made a new friend today,, Ty Hermann.
The Maturity begins when One lives for others is Honestly one of the Most Accurate FACTS of life that MOST PEOPLE will never realize!
Great but not exactly unobvious is it/hard truth to know, is it? maturity is not being biggoted in thinking only person who knows truth. some things are just more 'unironic' in nature.
I see connected with self importance and self-grandiosity. thing is if we first came upon knowledge do not think we all would be doing precisely that? true maturity is knowing deeper truths which lie within nature. not in oneself. people may know what you know but 'choose' not to do it anyway. or maybe there could be bunch of others reasons. you have to be more than a saint to win the minds of men. must know people at near atomic level. or maybe its just not in ones ability, could be socially handicapped or see more value in being real than fake. simply being/acting mature does not make you mature. maybe someone got caught up midway and got caught in 'crossfire' that caused great loss, yet still have that knowledge. and understand that even when do know everything many knowledges are not present. to be seen/heard/witnessed or understood, yet lie there in front of you. hidden in plain sight. (but then would know one would nitpick to save themselves, if proven wrong).
Simply acting mature does not make you mature must demonstrate, true maturity is knowing how people work/understanding things at their corest level (and knowing even then you might only be seeing 30% of the picture, tiny fraction/portion), this has always been my issue with people, as appreciative/''thankful'' as am with trying, doing so does not score bonus points, must do much more and treat everyone with same dignity, including ones least like/greatest enemies. However I agree in part we must limit our pleasure and our impulses, that is something I do connect with. not forget that. everything is a responsibility. in pleasure/pain. also better to be unhappy for sake of being unhappy without reason than to happy without reason (to do so). in fact its why I no longer play games. because I know where games can lead. when un-regulated, as is with humour/generalized stupidity. I also agree on specific aspect that in the end all of our desintations ultimately lead up to same things. purpose to do good, so why limit the progress?
my answer is yes, and no... yes to some, no to others. im not a guy who thinks black and white, I actually think in multiple greys. things can be 'both' or 'none' or 'other' at same time. while its cliche to say this is my ethic. as much as support in individual also lot I don't support. so it is a battle between the two. also a guy who likes to fight for reason FOR, even at microest level if to save other. same could be said with being lesser category as well. if we don't have someone to fight for us, then who are we at end of the day? (even when we seem 'wrong') I mean hard gained logic. cause sometimes we are in fact right but in way we didn't understand in situation and so it is with those who cast away wrong, who thought they were genuinely wrong to in fact be upstated. for reason to give that unchallenged/unquestioned other can be wrong, and get wrongly persecuted for. not just to look at should but look at the could as well. when advocate for someone in good/bad you mark where your line is and people tend not to forget which line drew. or when someone should really have took your side not the other. or if anything to be part of wrongful persecution that would be considered unfair to most educated. complex statement for complex reality. as it is. it is not however realistic to assume others save ourselves, we must also do that ourselves. more knowledge results in better/wise decisions, better judgement. however do also see subjective element in there as well. as far as ive got.
Every single one of them is brilliant 🧠💯
I'll look into it.
Lack of friends is a sign that someone doesn't use deodorant.
Herman Hesse himself is speaking ?🙋
I am only new to worldly wisdom because I have not read more than 200 books of world classics, but even they made me realize that there is a philosophy of literature that is not visible to everyone. As one genius said, there is a bad reader who sees nothing from the books he has read, a good reader who sees the philosophy of the works and the best reader who sees in the books between the lines even what is not there. I can wait and dream, ponder the meaning of things, and I will strive to realize my dream career, no matter what it costs me!
Hermann Hesse definitely makes you question and want to explore and change your self-identity. A wise philosopher!
Oh no! Not more identity politics! Try being yourself.
@@williambunter3311 Definitely not! But one has to learn and grow into the true, unique and special person you want to be in this life, in order to be yourself. 💖💖
@@motivationwantedasap So you believe that reading Hermann Hesse facilitates changing your very identity? I suspect that you are young, and one day you will look back in wonder and ask yourself: 'how could I have ever believed such a crock?' Every one of us is born unique, It's not something you need to grow into.
@@williambunter3311 Fortunately, I am young at heart. No, I do not believe Hesse alone can do the job. But, I would want more than just family, friends and society to be the only factors to impact my life and self-identity. 💖💖
@@williambunter3311 some of us read the Bible in search of realising our self-identity.
Good voice. Real voice.

Lack of friends is a sign of someone who is tired of playing games and being betrayed by people.
Yes😂😂😂
"love your suffering" that's a tough one. I work in a sector where I'm in contact with people who are suffering and their families and carers. I'm not sure if they are loving it tbh. Enduring it, trying to continue on and find happiness in spite of it.
The narrator's voice and pronunciation is astounding!
I’m amazed at how so many of these quotations sound so good but are so profoundly untrue.
I love his books. Brilliant.
Lack of friends is a sign that you learned to love yourself instead of putting up with worthless people.
That's my truth at least.
Yes I agreed your thought
Beautiful

One wonders why we are reminded that a situation is lacking commonsense when we should realize that the lacking is why it’s not “ common”. That’s the Point. There’s the sense of it . Remain informed and vigilant…Keep Aiming High Always
Love this. Thank you.

Wow ...a sign of maturity is living for others.
well our ultimate destinations are lead to same thing.
if not to same thing then to someone.. don't beleive its only sign though.
I always made assertion that simply acting mature doesn't make one mature.
does not get any bonus points. as good gest it may seem on outside. what inside
may be different. self serving/selfish attitude. maturity is being nice to all people
and to me knowing deeper nature of things and its people. including judgements make
which may not necessarily be true.

Become the one who ask, love, get married to suffering..this is one of the most important key of all things.This thing alone when mastered will make you invincible .
