“The responsibility of a society is to reduce misery, not to increase happiness.”
RIP Danny Kahneman—a paragon of intellectual integrity, humility, and curiosity

When someone makes a mistake, forgive them. When someone wrongs you, move on. When someone slights you, let it go. When someone tells you they didn’t mean it, believe them. When someone tries to pull you down, let them go.
Moving forward helps a lot and doesn’t cost a thing. f.s
"Be kind. Everyone has something going on inside them that you can't see."

It’s not just seeing suffering that's painful. It’s hurting for others while feeling unable to help.
There’s a term for that helplessness: empathic distress. Over time, it leads to burnout and withdrawal.
If you're overwhelmed and exhausted by a heavy heart, you are not alone.
It's easy to overestimate the importance of winning the moment and underestimate how it can cost you the ultimate goal.
It's a daily battle to focus on your ultimate goal, not the quick wins that lead to nowhere you want to go.{fs}
