You lose it if you talk about it.

You lose it if you talk about it.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are certain experiences or emotions that lose their essence or impact once they are spoken about openly. It implies that some things are better left unsaid because trying to convey them through language can minimize their significance or subtle nuances. It highlights the ineffability of certain aspects of life, suggesting that silence or inward reflection might be more potent in preserving the true essence of an experience or feeling.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look into the reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and arguments. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
