... the irony is that we read about things that provoke anxiety and depression, and we become even more anxious;

The news is designed to make us feel energized.

One ophthalmologist told me that my eye infection and obstruction of the tear duct are the result of working on a computer. It turns out, looking at the screen, we blink less often.

Minimalist Fumio Sasaki said: "Happiness is in owning little."

I used to think that social networks are harmless. Thought was sitting there because I liked it. But I kept on, even when I like it stopped. I remembered that feeling. It is akin to what it feels to be sitting in a bar at three in the morning, when all my friends already went home.

Don't play ranked play. The Internet loves the ratings, whether it's reviews on Amazon, TripAdvisor and Rotten Tomatoes, ratings or photos, updates and tweets, likes, favorites, retweets. Ignore it. Ratings are not a sign of value. Never judge yourself by them. All loved you need to be a king of flatterers. William Shakespeare, perhaps the greatest writer of all time.

By 1600, England produced about 400 different publications a year - ten times more than in the previous century.

Maybe happiness is not in our individuality. Perhaps this is not something that comes to us. Maybe happiness is felt when something give, not receive. Maybe happiness is not what we deserve. Maybe happiness is not what we can get, and not even the fact that we already have. Perhaps happiness is something that we can give. You might not get caught in the net, like a butterfly. Maybe it's not the only way to be happy.

We are beautiful, curious creatures endowed with the ability to think, to feel, to create art to understand ourselves and the world through knowledge. It is an end in itself.

In fact, not sold sex. Sold by fear.
