Without a worthy opponent a man or group cannot grow stronger. - Robert Greene

You cannot repress anger or love, or avoid feeling them, and you should not try.

What does it matter if another player, your friend or rival, intended good things and had only your interests at heart, if the effects of his action lead to so much ruin and confusion? It is only natural for people to cover up their actions with all kinds of justifications, always assuming that they have acted out of goodness. You must learn to inwardly laugh each time you hear this and never get caught up in gauging someone’s intentions and actions through a set of moral judgments that are really an excuse for the accumulation of power.

Think back on the moments when you felt deeply and personally connected to an activity.

Think about the pleasure it brought you.

In such activities are signs of your true purpose.
