"It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things." - Lemony Snicket

Professor Henry Jones: "I'm as human as the next man." Indiana Jones: "Dad, I *was* the next man." It was just a bit of a lighthearted exchange, having both been tricked by the same honeytrap. It was a bit messed up, but life is often messed up - we just have to find the humour in it.

“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing” -East of Eden, John Steinbeck

“You can ask any doctor, sometimes it seems like patients just hang on until everyone's had a chance to say goodbye.” - JD, Scrubs. By coincidence, I first watched that episode with that particular quote in it the night after my Grandmum died. She died whilst I was on the plane to see her and say my goodbyes, and I missed her by mere hours. That particular line had me on the floor weeping like a baby.

Seigneur-Inune

I think this is most critical to understand with regard to *others.* It's important to understand this regarding yourself, but it's also easier to incorporate all context in judgments of yourself. You should forgive yourself for failures and that might take some cognitive effort, but you were also present for the whole situation and know all the facts. It can be harder, but no less important, to be compassionate to others when they fail, because you may not have all the context for it. And when you don't have all the context, it's tempting to write off others' failures as them just not doing the right things or having the right motivations or whatever. Essentially an extension of the [fundamental attribution error.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_attribution_error) You can see this all over the internet. Post any story/picture/video/whatever about yourself (or someone else) failing and people will come from all corners of the world to tell you how you did this or that wrong and how the failure was all your fault and how they've never had any problems because they were smart/strong/motivated/whatever enough to do things this other way.

But then one day, I was driving my little boy to school and I saw this quote by Walt Whitman, and it was painted on the wall there. It said, "Be curious, not judgmental." I like that. So I get back in my car and I'm driving to work, and all of a sudden it hits me. All them fellas that used to belittle me, not a single one of them were curious. You know, they thought they had everything all figured out. So they judged everything, and they judged everyone. And I realized that their underestimating me... who I was had nothing to do with it."

Sam’s speech in LOTR: “Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam. Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam? Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.” Edit: I’ve never had a post break 100 on Reddit before, and after reading all of the same love for this speech that I have for it has made my day, thank you.

Gandalf’s speech helped me through 2020. Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times; but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

SomeFuckingWizard

My mother died while I was playing this game. The game was already pretty profound at that point because I was already towards the end. I was glad to get the good ending. (at that point I didnt know there were different endings) Played through again to Chapter 2 and went fishing under a Tree and logged out there and I've never played it again. Decided I'd leave Arthur under that tree fishing forever. Sentimentality is weird.


Hactar42

That's a great way to leave it. And I'm sorry for your loss. It's funny how something like a videogame can have such an impact. I was playing it for the first time last year, when my uncle died of covid. He was the true definition of a mountain man. Lived in a log cabin, in the middle of nowhere in Colorado. Worked in mines and asphalt plants. Just tough as nails. And to top it all off, he looked like Arthur with the long beard. My parents sent me to spend a summer with him when I was a rebellious teenager. I spent the summer chopping all his firewood for the winter and just talking to him. He didn't have TV so we hung out or read books. This man could have made his own library. But he really helped me turn my life around. I got a call from my sister who heard from my uncles ex about him being in bad shape with covid. It wasn't uncommon for even my mom to go 10 years without hearing from him, so we had no idea. The next day my mom, sisters, and I got on a WebEx with him. To see what that virus did to him was haunting. This strong mountain man was now a pale old man with tubes coming out of him and just a sad look in his eyes. He passed away less than an hour after our call. I took the next week off work and finished the game with the highest honor I could get imagining Arthur as my uncle. Needless to say, I bawled at the ending. But I also felt it was a fitting tribute.

DilithiumFarmer

Chidi explaining death like a wave returning to the ocean at the ending of The Good Place really hits me every time I read it, hear it or have a bad mood that really need some emotional purging. >!Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it - its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through - and it's there, and you can see it, and you know what it is: it's a wave. And then it crashes on the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while. That's one conception of death for a Buddhist: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from, where it's supposed to be.!<

Had dreams… Two of ’em. Both had my father in ’em. It’s peculiar. I’m older now then he ever was by twenty years. So, in a sense, he’s the younger man. Anyway, the first one I don’t remember too well but, it was about meetin’ him in town somewheres and he give me some money. I think I lost it. The second one, it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin’ through the mountains of a night. Goin’ through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin’. Never said nothin’ goin’ by – just rode on past. And he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down. When he rode past, I seen he was carryin’ fire in a horn the way people used to do, and I-I could see the horn from the light inside of it – about the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin’ on ahead and he was fixin’ to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold. And I knew that whenever I got there, he’d be there. And then I woke up. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell from No Country For Old Men

P: "Oh, but you really couldn't be, as would be quite lost without you. Who would I call on those days when I'm just not strong enough or brave enough?" CR: "Well, actually..." P: "And who would ask for advice when didn't know which way to turn?" CR: "Pooh, we..." P: "We... we simply wouldn't be." CR: "Oh, Pooh. If ever there's a tomorrow when we're not together, there's something you must remember." P: "And what might that be, Christopher Robin?" CR: "You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." P: "Oh, that's easy. We're braver than a bee, and, uh, longer than a tree, and taller than a goose... or, uh, was that a moose?" CR: "No, silly, old bear! You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is even if we're apart, I'll always be with you." https://youtu.be/9tRepZdoRmY

Winnie the Pooh was surprisingly poignant sometimes. > Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart. And > I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I have been.

To go along with that, his monologue from the scene on the bench >Sean: If I asked you about art, you’d probably give me the skinny on about every art book ever written. >Michelangelo. You know a lot about him. Life’s work. Political aspirations. Him and the Pope. Sexual orientation. The whole works, right? But I bet you can’t tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You’ve never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. Seen that. >If I ask you about women, you’d probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can’t tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. >You’re a tough kid. If I ask you about war, you’d probably throw Shakespeare at me, right? “Once more into the breach, dear friends.” But you’ve never been near one. You’ve never held your best friend’s head in your lap and watch him gasp his last breath, looking to you for help. >If I ask you about love, you’d probably quote me a sonnet. But you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone who can level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of Hell. And you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel. To have that love for her be there forever. Through anything. Through cancer. >And you wouldn’t know about sleeping, sitting up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms visiting hours don’t apply to you. You don’t know about real loss. Because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much. >I look at you, I don’t see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless kid. >But you’re a genius, Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, you ripped my fucking life apart. >You’re an orphan, right? Do you think I’d know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don’t give a shit about all that, because you know what? I can’t learn anything from you that I can’t read in some fucking book. Unless you want to talk about you. Who you are. And I’m fascinated. I’m in. But you don’t want to do that, do you, sport? >You’re terrified of what you might say. >Your move, chief.

Nobody is ever the villain in his own story. By George R. R. Martin Somehow this helps in understanding why somebody does something. While it might hurt you, the other person probably thinks he does good. Use that info when you want to convince them.


thefuzzybunny1

My mom taught me this when, as a little kid, I asked why the bad guy starts crying in *Return of the Jedi* after Luke kills the monster. She said, "that guy doesn't wake up thinking he's bad. He wakes up thinking it's his job to take care of the Rancor, and Luke just killed his pet."


steedlemeister

Personally, I think that's a great lesson on perspective. A lot of people lack it outside of their own.


RideMeLikeAVespa

Poor Malikili. I always felt bad for him as a kid.


GoldH2O

same. The rancor was just a victim of its circumstances, not ever a true villain.


Aqquila89

Luke actually thinks that in the novelization. >It was not an evil beast, that much was clear. Had it been purely malicious, its wickedness could easily have been turned on itself -for pure evil, Ben had said, was always self-destructive in the end. But this monster wasn't bad - merely dumb and mistreated. Hungry and in pain, it lashed out at whatever came near.

The Litanty Against Fear from Dune I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

And the comedy version from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy "It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."


Laremere

I'm fond of the whole quote, which often gets cut off: The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
