You have to develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people’s opinions. - Mark Manson

We must all give a fuck about something. To not give a fuck about anything is still to give a fuck about something.

The world is constantly telling you that the path to a better life is more, more, more—buy more, own more, make more, fuck more, be more. You are constantly bombarded with messages to give a fuck about everything, all the time...
Why? My guess: because giving a fuck about more stuff is good for business.
And while there’s nothing wrong with good business, the problem is that giving too many fucks is bad for your mental health. It causes you to become overly attached to the superficial and fake, to dedicate your life to chasing a mirage of happiness and satisfaction. The key to a good life is not giving a fuck about more; it’s giving a fuck about less, giving a fuck about only what is true and immediate and important.

The things you think will make you happy are usually just distractions from the things that actually will.
