#carefulness

If you are too careful, you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something. ↗

The best protection against propaganda of any sort is the recognition of it for what it is. Only hidden and undetected oratory is really insidious. What reaches the heart without going through the mind is likely to bounce back and put the mind out of business. Propaganda taken in that way is like a drug you do not know you are swallowing. The effect is mysterious; you do not know afterwards why you feel or think the way you do. ↗

— Mortimer J. Adler

May your sleep be your death, and your wakefulness be your heaven. ↗
