Our feelings are not self-sustaining. We need energy. For nutrients. For life-giving blood. Attention. Our entire being can be overwhelmed by bad mood - and we don't even realize that we ourselves are feeding it. But a sudden piece of good news can pull you out of the quagmire. A letter. A good word. Although the latter is not enough, because we actually like to wallow in the swamp of bad mood - there is also some lust in it. We have an unconscious, sluggish hippopotamus who is reluctant to climb out onto the sunny shore. That's why - pay attention - a kind word from a friend, wise advice, maybe a loving caress would almost lure you out of your bad mood, but the swamp pulls you back.

Hungarian

"Az érzéseink nem önfenntartóak. Szükségünk van energiára. Tápanyagra. Éltető vérre. Figyelemre. Egész lényünket eluralhatja a rosszkedv - és észre sem vesszük, hogy ezt mi magunk tápláljuk. De egy hirtelen jó hír kiránthat a mocsárból. Egy levél. Egy jó szó. Bár az utóbbi kevés hozzá, mert valójában szeretünk a rosszkedv mocsarában henteregni - van abban valami kéj is. Van bennünk egy öntudatlan, lomha víziló, aki nem szívesen mászik ki a napfényes partra. Ezért - figyeld meg - egy baráti jó szó, bölcs tanács, esetleg egy szeretetteli simogatás már-már kicsalna a rosszkedvedből, de visszahúz a mocsár."
