I just finished reading the book ... it's very good :)
A story about high school massacre, what happened to different people seeing differents sides of it and affected differently, .. what bring it on and what comes out of it ...
Some interesting quotes...
Formula for happiness: R/E or (Reality) / (Expecation)
E is always real number since you cannot divide by zero .. but what is there are no expectations..?
you COULD divide by zero, it will feel like a canyon where your heart used to be.
2 ways to be happy:
- Improve you reality
- Lower your expectation
If you divide reality by expectation, you got a happiness quotient, but when you invert the equation, (E/R), .. you got Hope.
Assuming reality was constant, expectation had to be greater than reality to create optimism, on the other hand, a pessimist was someone with expectations lower than reality, a fraction of diminishing returns.
The human condition meant that this number approached zero without reaching it, -- you never really completely gave up hope; it might come flooding back at any provocation.
The measure of joy brought by familiar was amplified or reduced by the individual's resistance to change.
Imagina a world that seemes so much bigger than you. Imagine waking up one morning and finding a piece of yourself you didn't even know existed.
