Darkness exaggerates the size of a spark.

We have glorified wealth and freedom so much that it is impossible for most of us to truly believe that a man can truly be happy in a shack or within the confines of a prison cell.

Love songs are nothing without exaggeration.

The size of your problem is in your mind.

Our nearness to our problems makes them seem way bigger than they are, while our farness from other people’s problems makes them seem way smaller than they are.

Not having expected an event makes it seem way better or worse than it really is.

The mind is inclined to zoom in on your problem, or few problems, to an extend that you cannot see your many blessings.
