How to act:
it is inevitable if you enter into relationships with people on a regular basis… that you will grow to be like them…
place an extinguished peace of coal next to a live one, and either it will cause the other one to die out, or the live one will make the other reignite…
remember that if you consort with someone covered in dirt you can hardly avoid getting a little grimy yourself

Zen Buddhism would say, “When you are eating, eat. When you are walking, walk. When you are making love, make love. When you are cooking, cook.” The ability to act directly from this lower level, turning off conscious inhibition, is what Buddhism calls right action.

Sympatheia The Stoics borrowed a practice from the Pythagoreans, of walking at dawn and witnessing the stars going down and the sun coming up. This humbled them at the start of their day, reminding them of how small their place in the world is. It also reminds one of the workings of the cosmos, and the universe, and therefore sympatheia — our connection with the universe and everything in it. It reminds us to pass over our control to what the universe has in store for us — our place within the bigger plan.
to love is to be vulnerable
to be vulnerable is: - knowing the risk of getting hurt, and that it's really gonna happen, but hopefully it's worth it down the road. - letting your guard down and letting people in - opening yourself up for judgment - being honest about who you are and how you feel – even the ugliest part - a willing and complete submission to the unknown - giving someone the consent to hurt you, because you see something worth risking for. You care about it enough regardless of the prospect
to love is to know you're gonna get hurt. you can't avoid it, but you get to choose who gets to hurt you
