Yaşlı ve huysuz erkeklerin hikâyesi :)
Erkekler yalnız yaşayıp izole edilmiş bir hayat sürdürdüklerinde -ki bunu kadınlardan daha sıklıkla yapmaktadırlar- günlük rutinleri beyin devrelerinin derinliklerine gömülmüş tekrar eden alışkanlıklar halini alabilir. Kısa süre içerisinde, birisi rutinlerini bozduğunda rahatsız olmaya başlar hale gelirler, çünkü beyinlerinin sosyal esneklik devreleri kullanılmamaktan zayıf düşmüştür. Yaşlı ve huysuz erkeklerin hikâyesi budur.
When men live alone and isolated lives—which they do more often than women—daily routines can become repetitive habits buried deep in their brain circuits. They soon become annoyed when someone disrupts their routine because their brain's social plasticity circuits have become weakened from disuse. This is the story of grumpy old men.

Some people live a tragedy, others inhabit a never - ending religious drama, some approach life as if it were an action film, and not a few act as if in a comedy.But in the end, they are all just stories.

“we live in the world of a sad separation that began some five hundred years ago when art and science split apart. Scientists and technicians live in their own world, focusing mostly on the “how” of things. Others live in the world of appearances, using these things but not really understanding how they function. Just before this split occurred,
The art of Outlaw logiC°..
“Nobody gets in trouble for what they do, they only get into trouble when they get caught. The art is in gettin away with it. The outlaw don’t live on the edges, he lives in the center, cruisin through the slipstream.”

“Kimsenin başı yaptıklarından dolayı belaya girmez, sadece yakalandıklarında başları belaya girer. Sanat bundan sıyrılmaktır. Kanun kaçağı kenarlarda yaşamaz, merkezde yaşar, akıntıya karşı yol alır."
"A powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magic potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank.
Whoever drank that water would go mad.
“The following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, which the magician had not managed to poison. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. The policemen and the inspectors, however, had also drunk the poisoned water, and they thought the king’s decisions were absurd and resolved to take no notice of them.
“When the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication.
“In despair the king prepared to step down from the throne , but the queen stopped him, saying: ‘Let us go and drink from the communal well. Then we will be the same as them.’ “And that was what they did: The king and the queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense.
Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?
“The country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbors. And the king was able to govern until the end of his days.”
Korumamızı öylesine benimseyip bağlandık ki farkında olmadan onun içinde yaşıyoruz. Kendi irademizle çıkarıp takabileceğimiz bir şey değil bu. Bu korumaları fazlasıyla erken ve bilinçsizce oluşturduğumuzdan dolayı artık alışkanlık haline geldiler. Tüm enerjileri dışımızda tutarak kendimizi yalnız ve zayıf hale getiriyoruz. Üstelik koruyucu kalkanımız kendi enerjimizi de içeride kilitli tutuyor, böylece bizi duygularımızdan, yaratıcı ve yaşamsal enerjilerimizden, evrenin doğal akışından soyutluyor.
We've become so attached to our protection that we live in it without realising it. It is not something we can take off and put on of our own volition. Because we have created these protections too early and unconsciously, they have become a habit. By keeping all energies outside of us, we make ourselves lonely and weak. Moreover, our protective shield also keeps our own energy locked inside, thus isolating us from our emotions, creative and vital energies, and the natural flow of the universe.

you are waiting for someone
who is not coming back
meaning
you are living your life
hoping that someone will realise
they can't live theirs without you

Güvensiz, kıskanç insanlarla dolu bir dünyada yaşıyoruz. Bazıları bizim en iyi arkadaşlarımız. Onlar kan akrabalarıdır. Başarısızlık onları korkutur. Başarımız da öyle. Çünkü bir zamanlar mümkün olduğunu düşündüğümüz şeyi aştığımızda, sınırlarımızı zorladığımızda ve daha fazlası olduğumuzda, ışığımız onların etraflarına ördüğü tüm duvarlardan yansır. Işığınız onların kendi hapishanelerinin hatlarını, kendi sınırlarını görmelerini sağlıyor. Ama gerçekten her zaman inandığınız gibi harika insanlarsa, kıskançlıkları gelişecek ve yakında hayal güçleri çitin üzerinden atlayabilir ve daha iyisi için değişme sırası onlarda olacaktır.
We live in a world full of insecure, jealous people. Some of them are our best friends. They are blood relatives. Failure scares them. So is our success. Because when we exceed what we once thought was possible, when we push our limits and become more, our light reflects off all the walls they have built around themselves. Your light allows them to see the lines of their own prisons, their own limits. But if they really are the wonderful people you always believed they were, their jealousy will develop and soon their imaginations may jump over the fence and it will be their turn to change for the better.

I don’t even have to look at them to know what they’re thinking. But knowing how they feel only makes me more determined to live a very long life.
I will give no one the satisfaction of my death.
Başarılı insanlar nasıl yaşayacaklarına karar verirler; koşulların kurbanı değildirler. İyi ya da kötü zamanlarda, nereye gittiklerini bilirler ve oraya varacaklarını bilirler.
Successful people decide how they are going to live; they are not victims of circumstance. In good times or bad times, they know where they are going and they know that they are going to get there.
Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live
for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed.
Perhaps the saddest of all are those who live waiting for someone they aren't sure exists.
