Anime: Evangelion (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

- By understanding the difference between yourself and others, you strengthen your understanding of yourself.

Without other people, you will not be able to comprehend yourself.

Your personality is created by your consciousness, interaction with the surrounding world.

- Nobody understands me.
- Are you a fool? Of course no one understands you! No one will understand you.
- The only person who can take care of you and understand you is yourself.
- So you have to take care of yourself.
- But I still don't understand myself! I don't even know what defines my essence! How can I take care of myself?!

- But I still don't understand myself! I don't even know what defines my essence! How can I take care of myself ?!

So I am what I think of myself? I am what I imagine myself to be. But I don't understand myself ... Where am I? What am I?

To be happy, I need ... significance. I want to mean something. I want to be helpful in order to get the attention of others.

Because you hate yourself, nobody respects you.

Do you think that by doing nothing you can avoid pain?

- You're not the only one suffering, Shinji.
- Everyone feels pain, you're not the only one.
- But it's easier for you to think that way.

If I run away, I won't be respected.

As long as you know what pain is, you can tolerate it.
- Yes. If the pain is too severe, you can get rid of it.
- If you really hate her, you can run away at any moment.

- Yes. Why do you judge me? Why can't you run away from what hurts ?!

- Of course for yourself!
