Are you angry that others disappoint you? remember you canno

Summary

This quote suggests that feeling anger towards others who disappoint us is irrational because we shouldn't rely on others for our own happiness. It emphasizes the importance of self-dependence and taking responsibility for our own emotions. When we place our expectations and needs solely on others, their actions or failures may often lead to disappointment. By recognizing our own ability to control our emotions and not depending entirely on others, we can find inner peace and avoid being unnecessarily affected by external factors.

Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are

Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don't get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goats cheese... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.
