Remember that rule, the golden rule
Taught by priests, parents, grandmothers
*Reverse it so that you don’t treat yourself
In ways that you wouldn’t treat others*
The people in charge, whoever they are
Are not making your faults into a big deal
It’s not indulgent to be a friend to yourself
Just an extension of how you make your friends feel
*Iddo Landau/inspired by Oliver Burkeman newsletter
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
