"the world can be disgusting, but it can also be quite beautiful, and it is as we make it."
This line is by Forthebirds,I am merely quoting him in the other thread.
all these misfortunes that human beings must suffer from cradle to grave, to what end?
Well,maybe so that one learns that one should not desire life.
Why all madness if we are insignificant creatures?
Again,so that,after taking into consideration this mayhem and madness,one may decide one does not "WiLL" life after all.
In my little world here, what is the cosmos going to lose if tomorrow I end up in a coffin?
If that were to happen then, I,for one,would certainly miss you. I think you have had a successful life as you have not sired anyone, also, as you have chosen to deny life.
Do demons die?
A very profound question.Yes,life,or to be more precise,the desire for life, is a veritable demon.
Can the demon die? Well,no one and nothing can kill it.But what happens when the demon decides to embrace self-annihilation?
Do not we all become participants/players the moment we are born?
I agree.You are right.However,I have experienced certain moments,while reading a book or listening to a sonata when I lose the self-hood completely.It is as if I & the art get merged.
But yes,these moments don't last long.5 minutes at most. Then,one is back in the midst of black mud.
That is why I say that while art may bring temporary relief ,it is only when one says no to life ,for good,that that one might finally find peace.
