Quotes from "The Shadow"

"A clouded mind cannot see."

It isn't so much that a clouded mind cannot see, although that is true to an extent. A clouded mind cannot act, its not free. There is nothing capable of happening in the clouded mind because it is frozen. It is empty but not in the zen sense of the word.  

"The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men"

Everyone can know what lurks in people's minds. Think of it as compassion or the negative capability, the Keats term. Again, If I avoid becoming "clouded" and everything will be clear because we have all been there as well.

"Your mind is weak"

A strong mind resists becoming frozen, or clouded. The mind has to be trained to always act on its own accord. Never skip on training the mind. 

Indifference

Indifference is the most powerful ability humans posess. 

Whoever cares less in any interaction is the winner. 

In any interaction, there is always one person who is less affected. 

There is always one person who is reacting less to the other person, than that person is reacting to them. 

Whoever maintains the greatest sense of wellbeing is the winner. Find your inner hedonist. Dull the edges.
