I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration; I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.
Das Wohlergehen der Menschheit ist immer das Alibi von Tyrannen.
Albert Camus,Aug 23
Quotes – Zitate
The soul is a princess, and the body is really its servant. The soul reigns the whole body because it enlivens it. When someone has a negative thought or deed, this is as bitter for the soul as poison for the body, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BODY ACCEPTS THE NEGATIVITY. To the contrary the soul delights in goodness, just as the body delights in delicious food. The soul passes through the body like sap through a tree. It is through sap that the tree grows, produces flowers and fruit.
