Hurting loved ones
People constantly do things to us that disregard the common sense of how people should behave around people they claim to care about.
We expect people close to us to show us kindness. Yet, humans frequently have feelings that are so intolerable and complex that they develop urges to pass them on to others. Put otherwise, humans can end up behaving cruelly to soothe their own sufferings by making someone near them suffer in their stead.

Cruelty is often a projection
Cruelty is an attempt to make ourselves feel better by doing to someone else a version of what was done to us.
A mother might hint to her daughter, "Don't ever succeed in your life as it would make me feel bad about myself."
Or a father would subtly communicate to his son, "I want you to fail in your career to make me feel better about my own disappointment."
Or a spouse would inject their partner with poison that carries the meaning, "I will repeatedly but subtly disrespect your intelligence to reduce the feelings of rage and powerlessness I experienced as a child."

Ignorance of the injector
The injector might not even understand what they are doing. They may be driven to act without knowing why they are doing so.
A part of self-knowledge means realising that those close to us have put some hugely damaging ideas inside us that we need to identify and correct to gain the freedom and light-heartedness we crave.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
