It is extremely melancholy to realize that nothing has any intrinsic meaning,
that life is essentially meaningless! I think it is, and it is dangerous even
to think about it.
It takes courage to live life understanding that no matter what you might
accomplish, all will disappear like smoke in the air; that no matter what you
do or you might attempt to do, it's all useless.
Not only that, but the very fact that everything is insignificant doesn't mean
anything either.
You draw unique experiences into your life in order to learn only one
thing: that you were wrong about it!
This is what an experience really means. You gain knowledge about falseness of
everything.
Question your beliefs. The idea that you are the body with the consciousness
is the worst. With the body comes the world, with the world - God, who is
supposed to have created the world and thus it starts - fears, depression,
stress, a few moments of happiness... and everything else to protect and
support "you", frightened out of your wits by monsters of your own
making.
I am not here to make things right for you. You have to realize that for
yourself.
what to do? unforeseen circumstance
Not seen due to unforeseen circumstance
I was working in insurance industry in IT department for many years. A
friend of mine who is working in a claim department told me a true story.
The guy filled out the claim form and reported the accident, he wrote: "invisible car, came from nowhere, hit my car and disappeared."
That was a fucking unforeseen circumstance!
be different
Be yourself
Everyone else is already taken.
Quite possibly, the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice is "Be yourself". Don't be someone else, be yourself, be different! However, What is that
"myself"?
fire is hot
Fire is hot, indeed
Any teacher of physics will tell you that fire is the result of combustion, an
exothermic reaction, meaning the reaction between elements releases heat as
the chemicals change.... and the people will not believe it. It's monkey
business out there. People ignore the obvious. They don't want to or they just
can't see it. So they will put the finger in...
what we do know?
We don't know that we don't know
There are two quotes I will never forget. The first is a famous quote of
General Kutuzov about what he said when he saw Napoleon on a horse... I quote,
what he said - Look, there is Napoleon on a horse.
My second favorite quote comes from Donald Rumsfeld, a former United States
secretary of defense: "
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are
known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't
know."
when the news hits you
A good or a bad news can kill you
Whether it’s the trauma of a loved one’s death or the excitement of a lottery
win, a shock can be fatal, experts have said. Research suggests that a
startling revelation can pose a danger to health whether the news is positive
or negative.
1 in 3 vs 2 in 3
... and those who stay alive know this secret: there isn't one!
