Psychology Is Not Just The Study Of Weakness And Damage; It Is Also The Study Of Strength And Virtue.

“Psychology is not just the study of weakness and damage; it is also the study of strength and virtue. Treatment is not just fixing what is broken; it is nurturing what is best within us.”

— Martin Seligman

“The hardest things for human being to do is to know themselves and to change themselves.”

— Aldred Adler

"لا يخرج الإنسان من شرع الله فجأةً، بل خُطوةً خُطوة. كل يوم يعطي فيه سمعه لرأيٍ غريب، ويعطي بصره لصورةٍ غير ملائمة، ويلقي عقله بين يديّ حسابات تخلط السُمّ بالعسل. كل يوم يبتعد قليلًا حتى يجد نفسه بعد عامٍ في وادٍ آخر، يتكلم بلسانِ شخصٍ آخر، ويفكر بعقل لا يشبه عقله.

احذروا دبيبَ الشّبُهات." أدهم شرقاوي

“Love has something to do with the notion of being seen — the opposite of invisibility. The invisible, the unwitnessed, the unacknowledged, the isolated, the lonely — these are the unloved. Loving attention illuminates the unseen, escorting them from the frontiers of lovelessness into the observed world. To truly see someone — anyone — is an act that acknowledges and forgives our common and imperfect humanity. Love enacts a kind of vigilant perception — whether it is to a partner, a child, a co-worker, a neighbour, a fellow citizen, or any other person one may encounter in this life. Love says softly — I see you. I recognise you. You are human, as am I.”
