Bu özgürlük temelde kendimize ve başkalarına karşı daha cömert bir ruh benimsemekten gelir. İnsanları kabul ederek, anlayarak ve eğer mümkünse yapılarını severek zihnimizi takıntılı ve önemsiz duygulardan armdırabiliriz. Başkalarının yaptığı ve söylediği her şeye tepki vermekten vazgeçebiliriz. Aramıza mesafe koyabiliriz ve her şeyi kişisel

Obscurity, indeed, is painful to the mind as well as to the eye; but to bring light from obscurity, by whatever labour, must needs be delightful and rejoicing.

A massive difference, mainly in terms of understanding myself and not being so hard on myself. It explained so much of my life, my needs, my choices, and it made me feel justified and validated in being how I am. It makes it easier to meet people and take on new experiences because I know why I find things difficult, I know what might help, and if it doesn’t work I am more accepting. It helps with the guilt – why didn’t I travel the world during my gap year, why aren’t I using my PhD to commute to London to work a 50-hour-a-week job, why don’t I go to parties when I am invited, why do I not enjoy parties I do go to when I have guilted myself into going, etc. (Woman with autism, diagnosed aged 31 years)
understanding science
Thinking like a child isn't necessarily a bad thing when it comes to science, and mainly to show that you don't have to be a genius to understand science -it just needs persistence, and the wish to know

-Gerçek bilgelik, başkalarının isteklerine kendi irademizi dayatmaya çalışmaktan ziyade, etrafımızdaki insanların ihtiyaçlarını ve isteklerini anlamakta ve onlara en iyi şekilde hizmet etmeye çalışmakta yatar.
-True wisdom lies not in trying to impose one's will on others, but in understanding the needs and desires of those around us and seeking to serve them as best we can.

We are taught not to trust ourselves, our gut instincts, or our core emotional responses. Our sense of self-understanding, self-control, and self-compassion is distorted by our early teachings. Our needs are complex, unique, and often ignored or rejected.
the steps of friendship
The issues with friends are three-fold: first is the matter of identifying who might become a potential friend and knowing when they have become one; second, is the actual social effort and understanding required to physically spend time in their presence; and, third, is the understanding of how the friendship needs to be maintained (through contact) in-between meetings.
Are You Nice or Kind?
There is a difference between being nice and being kind. Nice can be dishonest. It can be a "yes" when we really mean “no." Nice can be the perfect bandage for our true feelings. Nice is normal-comfortable, in fact. It doesn't shake up our beliefs or awaken deeper layers of knowing. Nice floats along from place to place, denying the freedom that comes with choice. Kindness is different. Kindness takes strength. It takes honesty. Kindness will never ask you to sacrifice your integrity; it will hold you to it. When there has been wrongdoing, Nice will say, "It's fine!" with a big smile and hollow eyes. Kindness will say, "This isn't okay, and there needs to be a change, but I hold you with compassion and understanding." Kindness knows the power in honesty and how enabling people strips us of that empowerment. Nice is taught, but kindness? Kindness is who we innately are at our core.

In its revolutionary struggles, the working class needs organization. When great masses have to act as a unit, a mechanism is needed for understanding and discussion, for the making and issuing of decisions, and for the proclaiming of actions and aims.
