Quotes About Interaction

uno hace descubrimientos extraños una vez que toca o es tocado, una vez que uno roza un muslo por accidente

Hombres que se aburren consigo mismos y sólo se ocupan de su relación con otro, o con otra. A esos hombres les conviene que les den la lata, la lata los ayuda a pasar de un día a otro, los entretiene, los justifica, igual que a las mujeres a las que se la dan.
~ Javier Marías
Decidió aguardar, sabedor de que la gente siempre habla al final, no puede soportar estarse callada indefinidamente y no contarse y no contar, no pavonearse un poco o no intrigar, no provocar compasión, horror o admiración, no inspirar lástima o temor, venideros o retrospectivos. Sí, la gente habla de más y sin querer, incluso cuando ha resuelto no hablar.
~ Javier Marías
As pessoas relatam sem cessar e narram sem sequer se darem conta do que estão a fazer, dos incontroláveis mecanismos de insídia, equívoco e caos que põem em movimento e que se podem tornar funestos, falam sem parar dos outros e de si mesmas, e também dos outros ao falarem de si mesmas e também

It's also hard for people to contend with the difficult possibility that we are simply overadvanced fungi and bacteria hurtling through a galaxy in cold, meaningless space.

Meaning may not be a precondition for humanity as much as a by-product of it.

That's Systems Insight Number Two: Each of us sees only part of the problem (the part the other person is contributing). Systems Insight Number One is this: Each of us is part of the problem. Maybe not to the same extent, but we're both involved, each affecting the other.
~ Douglas Stone
This illustrates an important rule about inquiry: If you don't have a question, don't ask a question. Never dress up an assertion as a question. Doing so creates confusion and resentment, because such questions are inevitably heard as sarcastic and sometimes mean-spirited.
~ Douglas Stone
It's better to make your question an invitation rather than a demand, and to make that clear. The difference is that an invitation can be declined without penalty. This offers a greater sense of safety and, especially if the other person declines to respond and your reaction makes that okay, it builds trust between you.
~ Douglas Stone
And what you experience as an attack might in their mind be meant as a defense against your attack. What, you say, you never attacked them? Ah, there's the rub.

En este sentido vale la pena reflexionar hasta dónde la sensación de poseer un yo es realmente individual. Desde mi particular punto de vista, además de que el yo es un proceso y una idea, su existencia y sus características reflejan patrones colectivos en parte aprendidos y en parte asociados con la existencia de interacciones directas entre cerebros y organismos.
~ Dr. Jacobo Grinberg Zylberbaum
Birisi hakk?nda devaml? bir ÅŸeyler duyunca, o kiÅŸiyi biraz tan?d???n? zannediyorsun. KiÅŸinin itibar?n? gerçek benliÄŸiyle kar??t?rmak çok kolay. Onun hakk?nda hiçbir ÅŸey bildiÄŸini anlamak için onunla ÅŸahsen tan??man gerekiyor.

Most human relationships consist mainly of minds interacting with each other, not of human beings communicating, being in communion.
~ Eckhart Tolle
how "spiritual" you are has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to do with your state of consciousness. This, in turn, determines how you act in the world and interact with others.
~ Eckhart Tolle
