Martha Beck Zitate

One reason most people never stop thinking is that mental frenzy keeps us from having to see the upsetting aspects of our lives. If I'm constantly brooding about my children or career, I won't notice that I'm lonely. If I grapple continuously with logistical problems, I can avoid contemplating little issues like, say, my own mortality.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein Grund, warum die meisten Menschen nie aufhören zu denken, ist, dass geistige Raserei uns davon abhält, die störenden Aspekte unseres Lebens zu sehen. Wenn ich ständig über meine Kinder oder meine Karriere nachsinne, merke ich nicht, dass ich einsam bin. Wenn ich mich ständig mit logistischen Problemen auseinandersetze, kann ich es vermeiden, über kleine Probleme wie etwa meine eigene Sterblichkeit nachzudenken.

I was a lonely child. My brother Tony and I were never very close, neither as children nor as adults, but I was tightly bound to him. We were forced to be together because we were really quite alone. We were in the middle of the Irish countryside, in County Galway, in the West of Ireland, and we didn't see many other kids.
