On living a good life despite a tragic past.

“Why should I care if I am criticized?” Marcus Aurelius

The revelations of loss.

Beyond passion and excitement.

On art and its abundance as therapy.

These objects for which you strive so eagerly, as if they would give you happiness and pleasure, are merely causes of grief.

Turn casual connections into strong friendships.

Modern life is designed to exploit our vulnerabilities to pleasure and pain, keeping us trapped in cycles of dependence and dissatisfaction.

An introduction to a more radically balanced idea of our relationships.

Even after a poor crop, we should sow again.

And how we fall out of love.

What it all comes down to.

Don't be shy.

Friendship is always helpful, but love sometimes even does harm.
