"越是想要与众不同,越是容易受伤。"
— Sadhguru
Simplified Meaning:
When you focus too much on being unique or standing out, you can end up feeling more pain. Imagine a student who always wants to be the best at everything. They may worry too much about their grades and compare themselves to others, feeling upset if someone does better. This constant stress can make them feel hurt and disappointed. Instead, if they focused on doing their best without trying to overshadow everyone else, they might be happier and less anxious. This is a reminder that it's important to accept yourself as you are and not pressure yourself to be overly special all the time. Seeking approval or perfection can lead to unnecessary suffering.
