“The more you talk about it, rehash it, rethink it, cross analyze it, debate it, respond to it, get paranoid about it, compete with it, complain about it, immortalize it, cry over it, kick it, defame it, stalk it, gossip about it, pray over it, put it down or dissect its motives it continues to rot in your brain. It is dead. It is over. It is gone. It is done. It is time to bury it because it is smelling up your life and no one wants to be near your rotted corpse of memories and decaying attitude. Be the funeral director of your life and bury that thing!”
? Shannon L. Alder

[Laurel]

“What is the meaning of 'gossip?' Doesn't it originate with sympathy, an interest in one's neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling?
Which is worse, this habit, or keeping one's self so absorbed intellectually as to forget the sufferings and cares of others, to lose sympathy through having too much to think about?
Lucy Larcom

You earn a living to live well, not to kill yourself with stress -Sadhguru.

I like this quote. It's two parts. One part showing why you are earning a living- to live well.
The second part, saying it's got to be the right job.

Hi
wow sorry, Percy. It feel strange replying to a post from last year, I've just seen it now.

According to Google, both Daniel J. Boorstin and Stephen Hawking said the same thing.
And yes, in my opinion, it's the most underrated quote ever.

“And good neighbours make a huge difference in the quality of life. I agree.” — Robert Fulghum

Not inspirational but true. It's kind of ironic this modern society I think we notice our physical needs but not fully our mind and emotional needs. A modern urban area would comprise of apartments, much nicer version of mid century brutalist flats, which isn't the best environment to nurture the best neighbour as it enables annonymousity and for someone shy like me is too densely populated to allow us to just be open outside the apartment on our local street maybe. Or shared houses which I imagine invade on privacy which doesn't always nurture the best housemates. So maybe certain needs also need to be met to enable someone to be a good neighbour.
