“You forget that the attendants also saw you,” he remarked. “Cannot we trust our own eyes?”
“A common assumption, yet not always a strictly reliable one,” insinuated Carrados softly.
“I cannot be mistaken.”
“Then can you tell me, without looking, what colour Professor Bulge’s eyes are?”
There was a curious and expectant silence for a minute. The professor turned his back on the manager and the manager passed from thoughtfulness to embarrassment.
“I really do not know, Mr Carrados,” he declared loftily at last. “I do not refer to mere trifles like that.”
“Then you can be mistaken,” replied Carrados mildly yet with decision.
Well—I have to say I personally have never drawn such a sharp line between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ as you. For me: that line is often false. The two are never disconnected. One can’t exist without the other. As long as I am acting out of love, I feel I am doing best I know how. But you—wrapped up in judgment, always regretting the past, cursing yourself, blaming yourself, asking ‘what if,’ ‘what if.’ ‘Life is cruel.’ ‘I wish I had died instead of.’ Well—think about this. What if all your actions and choices, good or bad, make no difference to God? What if the pattern is pre-set? No no—hang on—this is a question worth struggling with. What if our badness and mistakes are the very thing that set our fate and bring us round to good? What if, for some of us, we can’t get there any other way?

Gold is no master out of its own will and yet it rules the whole, despised and greedily demanded, an inexorable ruler. It lies and waits. He who sees it longs for it. Gold does not follow one around. It lies silently, with a brightly gleaming countenance, self-sufficient, a king that needs no proof of its power. Everyone seeks after it, few find it, but even the smallest piece is highly esteemed. It neither gives nor squanders itself. Everyone takes it where he finds it, and anxiously ensures that he doesn't lose the smallest part of it. Everyone denies that he depends on it, and yet he secretly stretches out his hand longingly toward it. Must gold prove its necessity? It is proven through the longing of men. Ask it: who takes me? He who takes it, has it. Gold does not stir. It sleeps and shines. Its brilliance confuses the senses. Without a word, it promises everything that men deem desirable. It ruins those to be ruined and helps those on the rise to ascend.
(Altın, kendi iradesiyle efendi değildir; yine de her şeye hükmeder; hor görülür ve açgözlülükle talep edilir; merhametsiz bir hükümdardır. Orada yatıp bekler. Onu gören kişi ona özlem duyar. Altın insanın peşinden koşmaz. Sessizce, parlak bir yüzle, kendine yeten, gücünün kanıtlanmasına gerek duymayan bir kral gibi yatmaktadır. Herkes onu arar, çok azı bulur, ama en küçük parçası bile son derece değerlidir. Ne verir ne de israf eder. Herkes onu bulduğu yerde alır ve en ufak bir parçasını bile kaybetmemek için endişeyle özen gösterir. Herkes ona bağımlı olduğunu inkar eder, ama yine de gizlice elini özlemle ona doğru uzatır. Altının gerekliliğini kanıtlaması mı gerekir? Bu, insanların özlemiyle kanıtlanmıştır. Ona sorun: “Beni kim alır?” Onu alan, ona sahip olur. Altın kıpırdamaz. Uykuya dalar ve parlar. Işığı
Go on without me!Edebiyat
Bir insan bir şeyin olduğunu bilmiyorsa, onun bunu hatırlamasını beklemek anlamsızdır.
According to some studies people with ADHD are more than twice as likely to have depression than people without ADHD.

Do you consider ADHD or/and Autism a disability? These conditions are classified as developmental disabilities, which means they affect how a person grows and learns.
They are not the same as learning disabilities, which affect specific skills like reading or math. People with developmental disabilities have the right to receive accommodations in their work and school environments, such as extra time, breaks, or assistive technology. However, some people may feel reluctant to ask for these accommodations, because they don't want to label themselves as disabled. I think this is the wrong way of thinking. I compare it to my situation of having poor eyesight. Without glasses or contacts, I see very little, just blurry blobs. Does that make me disabled? Maybe, but I don't let it stop me from living my life. I use glasses and contacts to correct my vision and make it easier for me to function and it is never questioned. Asking for help for ADHD and Autism related challenges should be seen in the same way as wearing glasses.
