How Contradiction Can Generate Mental Disorder
“Many mental disorders are a result of perceived contradictions between reality and a perfectionist demand. The conflict between such premises feels threatening to the client leading to linguistic expression of the threatening feeling using language with a strong negative valence (‘This is awful.’ ‘I am worthless.’) The latter negative conceptualization serves to sustain and amplify the negative feeling and to generate further feelings of powerlessness, which is then expressed in further disempowering language (‘I can’t’).”

“The importance of art history can be summed up in a single word: integration. As we’ve already pointed out, when you study art history, you learn the context in which that piece was created. You also learn about the technologies of the day, or lack thereof. You gain an understanding of the sciences, literature and more. However, to make sense of all of this is another thing altogether. One of the biggest reasons why you should study art history is because it teaches you how to integrate information from disparate sources and to make sense of that information. This is a high-level thinking skill that has become increasingly important in the workplace and in life.”

The Science Behind Jealousy And Envy| BetterHelp
“There are a number of theories on the reasons why people experience jealousy. Whether it’s over what other people have that we don’t or have accomplished by means of resources, privilege, opportunity, or hard work, it seems like jealousy has always been a part of being human. One theory is that jealousy was how our early ancestors defended themselves from infidelity, according to evolutionary psychology. Today, we’ve taken theory and applied it to more rigorous scientific study.”

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“It’s instinctive in a certain kind of painting…It’s like a nervous system. It’s not described, it’s happening. The feeling is going on with the task. The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning.” — Cy Twombly
