There are thousands of degrees and variations, but it is always clearly the attitude of a person who finds his superiority in solving the complications of others.
I have taken forty years to make my psychology simple. I might say all neurosis is vanity - but this also might not be understood.
We can comprehend every single life phenomenon, as if the past, the present, and the future together with a superordinate, guiding idea were present in it in traces.

We cannot love and be limited.
