After a Breakup — The Invisible Bullets of Hurt
1️⃣ Shock Bullet – the first piercing realization that the relationship is really over.
2️⃣ Loneliness Bullet – the emptiness in spaces once filled with love and connection.
3️⃣ Memory Bullet – every song, place, or object that suddenly stings with reminders.
4️⃣ Self-Doubt Bullet – the painful questions: Was I enough? Did I do something wrong?
5️⃣ Future Bullet – the ache of reimagining life without the person you once planned it with.
6️⃣ Trust Bullet – the wound that whispers it might be unsafe to open your heart again.
7️⃣ Healing Bullet (paradoxical) – the slow burn that eventually teaches resilience, self-love, and growth.
The good news is, unlike real bullets, these emotional wounds can heal. With time, care, and support, the pain lessens, and scars turn into strength. 🌿

How Drawing and Painting Support Children’s Mental Health

Art is more than just colors on paper—it is a powerful tool for children’s growth and mental well-being. Drawing and painting help children express feelings that words cannot capture. Through art, they release stress, build self-confidence, and develop problem-solving skills in a natural and enjoyable way.

Psychologists have found that creative expression improves emotional regulation, reduces anxiety, and nurtures a child’s imagination. When children create art, they also strengthen their focus, patience, and resilience—qualities that support lifelong mental health.

Recognizing the importance of art in child development, Psychological Review Foundation has already arranged special events where children could explore their creativity in a safe, supportive environment. This year, we will continue to organize such programs, ensuring that more children get the opportunity to heal, grow, and shine through the power of drawing and painting.

Together, let us create awareness and give children the space to express their inner world with colors.

🧠 “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”
– Viktor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
As a psychologist, I often return to this line—not as poetry, but as clinical truth.
This quote isn’t just inspirational—it’s a profound psychological insight into how meaning transforms suffering. It’s the very core of Frankl’s message, and it’s what makes Man’s Search for Meaning one of the most essential reads in the history of mental health literature.
Man’s Search for Meaning
From a Psychologist’s Lens on Purpose, Suffering & Resilience
By Sujan Kanti Das
Registered Psychologist of Berufsverband Deutscher Psychologinnen und Psychologen
Few books stir both the mind and soul like Frankl’s memoir and psychological treatise. Written from within the unimaginable horror of N**i concentration camps, it’s more than a survival story—it’s a blueprint for enduring the suffering of life with dignity.
As a psychologist and trauma specialist, this book didn’t just resonate—it reshaped how I support clients through grief, identity crises, and existential loss.
🧩 Clinical Reflections and Takeaways
1. Suffering is Not the End—It’s a Portal
Frankl reframes suffering not as a flaw of life, but as an opportunity for transformation. In trauma psychology, we know: meaning is what separates post-traumatic stress from post-traumatic growth.
2. “Will to Meaning” is the Core Human Drive
Where Freud emphasized pleasure and Adler focused on power, Frankl makes a compelling case for meaning as the truest motivator. In therapy, when we help clients rediscover purpose, healing deepens.
3. Logotherapy: Asking a Better Question
Frankl’s approach asks not “What’s wrong with you?” but “What is life asking from you right now?” This shift is revolutionary, especially for clients facing spiritual crises or burnout.
4. The Space Between Stimulus and Response
Frankl famously wrote: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.”
This is a masterclass in emotional regulation and self-leadership—skills we now train through CBT, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence frameworks.
5. Survival Was About Meaning, Not Strength
In the camps, those who endured weren’t the physically strongest—but those who had a why. A loved one. A dream. A mission.
This teaches us that burnout, depression, or despair often reflect a loss of meaning—not simply a lack of rest.
💬 Final Reflection
Frankl’s work is not just a memoir. It’s a manifesto. One that challenges therapists, leaders, and all of us to ask:
➡️ What is the meaning in your struggle?
➡️ What deeper “why” keeps you going?
If you’re a psychologist, counselor, teacher—or simply someone navigating the harder seasons of life—Man’s Search for Meaning is not optional. It’s foundational.
Let us carry forward Frankl’s enduring wisdom, especially in times when meaning feels lost:
🕯️ “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Day:1
Book:"The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" by Carlo M. Cipolla
Title: A Closer Look at "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" by Carlo M. Cipolla: Key Lessons and Personal Insights
In an age dominated by information and technology, the insights gleaned from Carlo M. Cipolla's "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" offer profound reflections on human behavior that are as relevant today as ever. Here, I present ten key lessons from the book, alongside my thoughts to foster discussion and understanding within our community.
Key Lessons:
1. Stupidity Is Universally Distributed
Cipolla emphasizes that stupidity transcends all boundaries—education, social class, and profession are irrelevant. This universal distribution serves as a reminder that we must remain vigilant and discerning, as anyone can act foolishly at any time.
2. Five Fundamental Laws Govern Human Stupidity
The crux of Cipolla’s argument lies in laws that describe the operation of stupidity. Notably, his third law highlights that a stupid person inflicts losses on others while gaining nothing—this behavior is fundamentally self-defeating yet dangerously contagious.
3. Stupid People Are Dangerous
The unpredictability of stupidity poses a greater threat than malevolent actions. Stupid individuals can create chaos and dysfunction without any tangible motive, sparking significant ramifications for society at large.
4. Intelligence Doesn’t Prevent Stupidity
It's a common misconception that intelligence equates to wisdom. Cipolla's observations remind us that even the most educated can display stupidity, often due to pride or cognitive dissonance.
5. The Four Types of People
Cipolla categorizes individuals into four groups based on their actions and impacts on themselves and others. Recognizing these categories can help us navigate our interactions and partnerships effectively.
6. The Cost of Stupidity Is High for Society
The prevalence of irrational decision-making by stupid individuals can have detrimental effects on families, organizations, and nations, reflecting a dire need for collective awareness and strategic intervention.
7. Stupidity Is Underestimated
One of the most striking revelations is how frequently people fail to recognize the prevalence of stupidity. This underestimation leads to misguided choices in various spheres of life, from leadership to personal relationships.
8. Rationality Cannot Defeat Stupidity
Engaging with someone who commits irrational acts often leads to futility. The author indicates that logical reasoning may not sway those whose beliefs are rooted in irrationality.
9. You Can’t Reason With the Irrational
Arguing with a stupid person can drain one’s energy without yielding results. Recognizing this can save us time and frustration in both personal and professional environments.
10. Avoidance Is the Best Strategy
Cipolla advocates for proactive avoidance of stupidity. By discerning and disengaging from detrimental interactions early, we help protect ourselves and maintain our sanity.
Personal Insights
Reflecting on these key lessons, I find Cipolla’s perspective both enlightening and slightly disheartening. It serves as a wake-up call to our tendency to ignore the more challenging aspects of human nature. As we navigate our everyday lives, acknowledging the presence of stupidity can help us make better decisions in hiring, leadership, and collaboration.
Moreover, understanding the implications of stupidity encourages a more empathetic view of those who might act irrationally. Instead of frustration, we might adopt a stance of prevention—promoting awareness and support systems that minimize the risk of stupid decisions impacting us.
Conclusion
"The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity" is not just a commentary on the individual but a reflection on society. As we share this knowledge, let’s embrace open dialogue and foster a culture of critical thinking within our community. By doing so, we can better navigate a world that, despite its challenges, offers endless opportunities for growth and understanding.
I encourage everyone to grab a copy of this enlightening book—let’s continue the discussion in our Facebook community!
