Here is a thread of translated highlights from SUHOโs father new book exploring modern anxiety through the lens of Epicurean philosophy ๐
"...When is it that you do not grow weary? In what kind of relationships do you retain your true self? What sort of achievements bring you peace of mind, and which ones actually make you more anxious? No one else can answer these questions for you.
Society provides benchmarks for comparison, but it does not choose our individual paths. We must forge our own routes by considering our unique abilities, temperaments, inclinations, and values. The path of an extrovert is bound to differ from that of an introvert. Likewise, the path of someone who values stability cannot be the same as someone who thrives on adventure. Yet, we often treat someone else's trajectory as our own 'correct answer.' Watching others rapidly climb the social ladder, we feel compelled to climb those same steps. But if that ladder doesn't suit us, our pace inevitably slows, and we find ourselves increasingly breathless. Success may follow, but fulfillment never arrives. The reason is simple. Because that path..."

Iโve been reading a book written by EXO Suhoโs father, and itโs one of those books that quietly changes the way you think.
One passage introduces a letter Zhuge Liang (Kongming) wrote to his son:
โOnly by reducing desire can your purpose become clear. Only with a calm mind can you go far.โ
Although it was written centuries ago, it feels surprisingly relevant today.
The book reminds us that happiness isnโt something we receive after achieving success. It begins when we stop measuring ourselves by other peopleโs standards and start choosing a path that truly fits who we are.
One sentence especially stayed with me:
โA rรฉsumรฉ remains on paper, but the path you choose remains in your life.โ
Some books donโt tell you how to live.
They simply help you discover your own way.
Dalam ilmu psikologi trauma dijelaskan bahwa ketika seseorang mengalami luka batin yang sangat dalam, ia tidak selalu menangis, berteriak, atau menunjukkan kemarahan. Justru, banyak orang menjadi sangat tenang, diam, dan terlihat baik-baik saja.
Hal itu terjadi karena otak memiliki mekanisme perlindungan diri. Saat rasa sakit terasa terlalu berat untuk diproses sekaligus, otak akan "mematikan" atau menekan sebagian respons emosi untuk sementara waktu. Tujuannya agar seseorang tetap bisa bertahan dan menjalani fungsi sehari-hari di tengah tekanan yang luar biasa.

EXOโs editor:
โThere are two types of EXO membersโ
โThe Kim Bros (Junmyeon & Jongin) who have a disease where theyโll die if they donโt act cuteโ
โAnd the non-Kims (Chanyeol, Kyungsoo & Sehun) who chose to become *Pagliacci on their own accordโ
*Pagliacci is Italian for clowns
