An emotion is a mild mental illness.

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow sometimes have very different causes, but always have the very same properties.

It is the mind, not the self, that feels (sad, happy, angry, etc.).

The vast majority of people are each a puppet that is forever pulled in this or that direction, or pushed into this or that action, by things such as public opinion and an emotion.

Hatred and love are equally enslaving.

No one is freer than someone who couldn’t care less about how he or she feels.

We are greatly enslaved by how we do not want and how we want to feel.

Our thoughts, feelings and whereabouts: Food we dish up on plates called photographs and status updates; to feed Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.; beasts with insatiable appetites.

How we look at life and how we feel shape each other.
