Başarmak İçin Dayanmak
What determines your success isn’t, “What do you want to enjoy?” The relevant question is, “What pain do you want to sustain?” The path to happiness is a path full of shitheaps and shame.
__________
Başarınızı belirleyen "Neyi yapmayı seviyorsunuz?" değil. Bunun uygun sorusu "Hangi acıya dayanmak istersin?" Mutluluğun yolu sıkıntılar ve utançla doludur.
Life is pain
Life is not fair
Please angels stay here
Take the pain
Take the fear
Çok sevdiğimiz Fareler ve İnsanlar romanına ilham olmuş şiir
“en iyi planları farelerin ve insanların sıkça ters gider.”
J.Steinbeck’e ilham olan bu cümle 18. yüzyılda yaşamış İskoç şair Robert Burns’e ait “Bir Fareye /To a Mouse” isimli şiirin bir dizesidir. Bu şiirin ayak izleri hem kitabın adında hem de olay örgüsünde net bir şekilde görülmektedir. Zaten kitabın orijinal ismi olan “Of Mice and Men”
It is perfectly acceptable to have a physical problem in our culture, but people tend to shy away from anything that has to do with the emotions. It is one more reason why the mind will choose a physical rather than an emotional manifestation when confronted with unpleasant emotional phenomena.

...bu dünyada çekilen bedensel ağrı ve acılar da (pain) onların neden oldukları ruhsal elem ve ıstıraplar da (suffering) ruh-yapma (soul-making) amacına uygundurlar.
It was a psychoanalyst colleague, Dr. Stanley Coen, who suggested in the course of our working on a medical paper together that the role of the pain syndrome was not to express the hidden emotions but to prevent them from becoming conscious. This, he explained, is what is referred to as a defense. In other words, the pain of TMS (or the discomfort of a peptic ulcer, of colitis, of tension headache, or the terror of an asthmatic attack) is created in order to distract the attention of the sufferer from what is going on in the emotional sphere. It is intended to focus one's attention on the body instead of the mind. It is a response to the need to keep those terrible, antisocial, unkind, childish, angry, selfish feelings (the prisoners) from becoming conscious. It follows from this that far from being a physical disorder in the usual sense, TMS is really part of a psychological process.

As has been suggested, other physical disorders may serve the same purpose as TMS. Here is a list of some of the most common ones:
Preulcer states
Peptic ulcer
Hiatus hernia
Eczema
Spastic colon
Psoriasis
Acne, hives
Irritable bowel syndrome
Hay fever
Dizziness
Asthma
Prostatitis
Tension headache
Migraine headache
Ringing in the ears
Frequent urination
All of these disorders should be treated by one's regular physician. Though they may be serving a psychological purpose, they must be investigated and treated medically. Hopefully, the patient will also receive some counseling.
