@WordsnWisdom26 “Every man has reminiscences which he would not tell to everyone, but only to his friends. He has other matters which he would not reveal even to his friends, but only to himself... But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself.”

— Fyodor Dostoevsky

@WordsnWisdom26 If your self-esteem skyrockets with applause and instantly crumbles when someone criticizes you, stop calling yourself grounded, you're just a puppet on a string pulled by strangers.

Stop living like there's a camera crew following your every move. You are a background character in almost everyone else's movie, and that's the ultimate freedom. Save this for the next time you feel awkward.

That embarrassing mistake you made today? Everyone already forgot about it.

[PHI @thinkwithPHI]

We naturally overestimate how much other people are paying attention to us But here’s the liberating truth: Nobody is watching you. Everyone else is far too busy worrying about their own hair their own mistakes and their own lives to spend more than 2 seconds thinking about yours

In The Ring of the Dove, he examined love with an almost clinical attention.

He argued that genuine love is rarely created in an instant.

It develops through familiarity, time, and shared experience.

Today we remember Ibn Hazm, who died on August 15, 1064.

He lived in al-Andalus during a period of political collapse, religious debate, and intellectual conflict.

[PHI @thinkwithPHI]

His intellectual world was enormous.

Law.
Theology.
Logic.
History.
Language.
Comparative religion.
And love.
He refused to treat human experience as something that could be understood from only one discipline.

Most people don't fear being ordinary.

They fear nobody noticing they exist.

“It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.”

— Seneca

Question For You: If you knew exactly how much time you had left, what would you stop wasting your life on?

What's one thing you can never truly recover once it's lost?

[PHI @thinkwithPHI]

Being brutally honest without being asked is just an ego trip. Tag someone who always knows how to deliver the truth without being a jerk about it.

You’re not being "real." You’re just being mean with an excuse.

[PHI @thinkwithPHI]

People who brag about "always keeping it real" usually care way more about the high of tearing others down than they do about the actual truth.
