Excellent article and advice!

I'm currently listening to an audiobook that describes how our emotions rule the rational part of our minds. (The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene)

He teaches how to detach from emotions, master self-control, and develop empathy. It's unfortunate that more people aren't enlightened enough to study Buddhism, self-reflection, and mindfulness. What a wonderfully different world it could be!

Thanks! I'm learning a lot about neural networks and how we are all connected to nature. When we quiet our minds we are more in touch with the natural energy all around us. Our thoughts and emotions are often in the way. When we can acknowledge those thoughts and emotions but see past them, we can find ourselves in a healthier place.

Bellissimo, Renato. Ogni ulteriore parola sarebbe superflua. E la citazione da Rumi è un'ulteriore, profonda boccata di aria fresca e rigenerante.
