What I Found...
There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much. From seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments. That love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion. That happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness. A sense of being cut off from the world. From other people. And from oneself. «Virginia Woolf»
Existe un tipo de tristeza que surge cuando se sabe demasiado. Cuando se ve el mundo como realmente es. Es la tristeza de comprender que la vida no es una gran aventura, sino una serie de pequeños e insignificantes momentos. Que el amor no es un cuento de hadas, sino una emoción frágil y fugaz. Que la felicidad no es un estado permanente, sino un atisbo efímero y poco frecuente de algo a lo que nunca podremos aferrarnos. Y en esa comprensión hay una profunda soledad. Una sensación de estar separado del mundo. De otras personas. Y de uno mismo. «Virginia Woolf»
"Only the crazy and the lonely can afford to be themselves. Loners have no one to please and crazy people don't care if they like it or not" (Charles Bukowski)
The price of being a sheep is boredom. The price of being a wolf is loneliness. Choose one or the other with great care. (Hugh MacLeod)
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. (Lao Tzu)
A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke. (Vincent Van Gogh)
Nice collections. Listening to Ashter sommand instrumental made me feel alive again. I feel good
Excellent! I'm very glad you liked it and above all, that it had the effect of making you feel alive again.
Estupendo! that's exactly the effect I want to produce on people!
Cheers!
I noticed quite a few important peeps in the world state the same: We are alone by definition. We better make sure we understand that. Either we accept it, or we don't. But the advice is to understand and accept. Are we the sheep or the wolf? Uhm, I don't feel like the wolf; Though I understand and accept I am more the lonesome guy than the one that needs to be part of a group (of any kind) to exist in this world. Funny thing is, I never thought about this, though I know I better can rely on nobody but myself. Decisions in my life are always based on that realisation. Learned this very early in life already. Remember for instance I was on my own when making decisions to move schools back in my secondary school and later uni. My parents took my information whatever I shared with them about such topic. Subsequently, they asked me: The choice is yours. Uhm, I was 15 years of age when I started living on my own. My school mates, well, I found them quite childish. They thought of me: Why the hell are you slipping int he adult life so early in life? Though most didnt even understand what the adult life was about lol
Anyways, concluding, am the wolf. I know I am alone, even when I have really close friends. In the end, it doesnt matter to have close friends, we are indeed, alone.
