In the book, there was a fable that I will never ever get over.

“In my mind, there are two dogs, one black and one white.
The black dog is full of hate, anger and pessimism. The white one is filled with love, generosity and optimism. They fight all the time”
“which one wins?”
“the one I feed more”.
