Summary

This quote suggests that expecting or demanding to be loved is an arrogant assumption. It implies that love should not be seen as an entitlement or something that can be demanded or forced upon others. It highlights the idea that love is not something that can be controlled or dictated, but rather is freely given and received. Therefore, expecting or insisting on being loved is seen as an arrogant and self-centered behavior, disregarding the fundamental nature of love and the importance of reciprocity and genuine connection.

Generalists, people with moderately strong attachments to many ideas, should be hard to interrupt, and once interrupted, should have weaker, shorter negative reactions since they have alternative paths to realize their plans. Specialists, people with stronger attachments to fewer ideas, should be easier to interrupt, and once interrupted, should have stronger, more sustained negative reactions because they have fewer alternative pathways to realize their plans. Generalists should be the upbeat, positive people in the profession while specialists should be their grouchy, negative counterparts.
