翻译：君主不应该因为发怒而兴兵，将领也不应该因为发怒而出战。符合国家利益就行动，不符合国家利益就停止。愤怒可以转变为欢喜，恼怒也可以转为喜悦，但国家灭亡了就不能再建立，人死了就不能复活。
The only obsession everyone wants: 'love.' People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you're whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You're whole, and then you're cracked open.
Psychology is the study of how we navigate existence.
