Accordingly, cognitive distortions automatically generate unrealized expectations that degenerate into anxiety, fear, anger, hysteria, laziness, apathy, feelings of failure, and problematic behavior.
Beliefs that demand the impossible and unreal are lies. Humility is acceptance of reality, pride is absence of humility with reality, that it is impossible. The impossible is what is not. Possible is what could be. And then, and then it's a lie. Truth is reality, that which is. Humility with reality is acceptance of truth.

People are the same in the sense that a person is a tool. It all depends on the ideas and beauty that he managed to see. Ideas are different, but people are the same. Someone was lucky, an idea found him, and someone was not lucky. Some have love, while others have only vices and pain.
