The only thing you need to heal before dating is your relationship to integrity. If you struggle to tell the truth, you need to fix that first. And if you struggle to let others speak their truth without controlling or coercing them, you also need to stay single until it's healed

Philosopher Slavoj Žižek on why searching for your "true self" is a mistake:

Žižek argues that the pursuit of a true inner self is ultimately misguided. Deep introspection, he suggests, often reveals only disturbing or chaotic fantasies.

"Don't look for your inner self. You'll only find deep shit."

Instead of searching for an authentic core, Žižek believes genuine personal growth comes from embracing an external mask, a chosen social role.

"The only way to overcome yourself is to identify with your mask."

To illustrate this, he references the 1960 Rossellini film General Della Rovere.

The film tells the story of a poor man in occupied Italy who is caught by the Nazis. Because he resembles a famous resistance leader, General Della Rovere, the Nazis, who have already killed the real General, force him to pretend to be the General in prison to trick the resistance.

But something unexpected happens. The man identifies so deeply with the role that he refuses to cooperate with the Nazis. He is ultimately shot publicly as General Della Rovere.

Žižek calls this "good alienation." The man's "real self" as a poor beggar mattered less than his complete identification with the heroic persona. Through that total commitment to an outward role, he achieved a kind of moral greatness his "authentic" self never could.

The takeaway is counterintuitive but powerful: true freedom doesn't emerge from endlessly excavating your private, internal world. It emerges when you prioritise your outward actions and commitments. When you fully commit to becoming something greater than what you started as.

What matters is what you choose to embody.

one time I talked to this old man and he told me to "find a vacation everyday, even if it's walking outside and feeling the grass between your toes" and that is what 2019 will b all about. Finding a vacation, everyday.

Cheetahs are not in the genus panthera with lions, tigers, and leopards. It doesn’t roar, it meows and purrs like smaller cats.

A Brazilian farmer playfully calls out each cow’s name from his notebook, and the cows answer with distinct moos proof that daily routines have taught them to recognize their names.
