 Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:26 am Post subject: Pausing at each detail |
 |
|
Our educations condition us with multiple choice testing to pause and each detail, and doubt it, but it is much better to hold one's judgment in abeyance, and take in an entire totality....
I often yearn for death...
Tolstoy observed that when we conquer a people, and dominate
them, subjugate them, then, ironically, we become dependant upon
them
Camus said, "Perhaps the greatest sin of all is to yearn for some
future after-life and ignore the implacable grandure of this life which
we already possess"
"implacable grandure" is such a wonderful expression
a grandure which can never be placated (satisfied)
psyche = soul, pathos=suffering, logos = reason, put them all together
and you have psychopathology = "finding the reason for the suffering
of the soul"
We suffer precisely because we desire what we do not have, and we
have what we do not desire.
