Humility enables us to look at what joins us rather than what sets us apart – our common humanity, wounds, longings. Instead of pursuing bleak self-interest we foster connection. Without humility we are at the mercy of our egos. We worry about success, status and what we don’t have. There is a technique for spotting when you’re in egoistic thinking with five bad habits that all begin handily with the letter C: Comparing, Criticising, Complaining, Controlling, Competing. These thoughts are defence mechanisms, only they don’t work. They rob us of peace of mind, and each time we pick up one of these toxic Cs we cloud our minds and outlook.

About the book mention…

gunningforabasementoffice:

I’ve had a lot of anons (most of them very angry) writing about We almost every day.  And I apologize that I haven’t been able to respond to all of you, but also that it’s taken me a while to even make a post on the topic.  I was going to publish it as an answer to an ask, but since all the asks have had some very sharp things to say, I don’t feel comfortable making them public.

So.  About the thanks in Gillian’s We book.  Everyone knows by now that she thanked Peter Morgan.  Here are some things to keep in mind: the book was originally supposed to be published this autumn, so it had to have been finished by early to mid 2016.  

Now here are some other things that haven’t yet been discussed.  The casting agency that represents PM in the US is UTA.  UTA and Atria Books (the publisher of Gillian’s We book) have a joined partnership in publishing, and co-own Keyword Press.

I just watched Kimmel again (for about the 100th time, but that’s irrelevant 😉) I just do not get how people are saying that D makes G uncomfortable. I mean WTF?! Do you people not have eyes?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh, I can totally see why they’re making people uncomfortable. I don’t have that kind of anxiety when it’s only a tv show, buy you must admit that watching this can make you feel like you’re the third wheel alone with an obnoxious couple. It’s both embarrassing and mesmerizing.

you know what i don’t get? Gillian posted a lot about the crown, she supported the show by going to the globes and so on. and we know she went to his dinner, so why doesn’t she aknowledge his honor in a little tweet like she always did when it was about the show itself. she promoted the shit out of the crown, so nobody would have been surprised if she congratulated him… i guess we all know why though! much greetings! <3

Absolutely! She never talks about him personally but about his work, which is weird. Seems like she didn’t pronounce a discourse during the dinner either, and those pictures and videos show very little interactions, as it would be between two people who have a working relationship.
I was expecting a tweet after the dinner, maybe she didn’t do it because of what happened on Twitter, or maybe she just didn’t want to. She would have done it right away for a real friend, not matter what her fans may think because she does whatever the fuck she wants… so….
