Some Quotes
« on: October 27, 2022, 02:18:55 pm »
This world could not have been the work of an all-loving being but that of a devil, who had brought creatures into existence in order to delight in the sight of their sufferings.”
Arthur Schopenhauer






A WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO MORE ROOM FOR HUMAN BEINGS, FOR JOY, FOR ACTIVE LEISURE, IS A WORLD WHICH MUST DIE.
—Albert Camus


“ALL human preoccupations, all the difficulties, and all the worries of life—in order to end up there,” René Piédelièvre, a forensic expert working on the Petiot case (March 1944), later reflected after his forty-five years of experience at the autopsy table.

By “there,” he meant a lifeless body lying “among the debris which is going to crumble and disappear progressively into a microbial rot in the earth among the devouring insects and their larva, the workers of death.”
Taken from author David King about Marcel Petiot, French serial killer aka Dr.Satan.


From Shrikant Pawar-FB
All types of pleasures are nothing but just "relief" in some form of pain or suffering or discomfort. No pleasure really ever has any real value or existence, unlike pain/suffering. All the pleasures are just as much ungenuine as is mirage in the desert. By contrast, on the other hand, suffering or pain is as much real or genuine as is 24 carat gold.

People mistakenly think that they are running behind pleasures in life but actually they keep running away from suffering/pain constantly, NOT behind pleasures/happiness.
Eating a tasty food on weekend is the relief from insipidity of daily food or monotonousness of daily dishes.
Watching a movie or listening a song is the relief from boredom or monotonousness of daily life.
Buying a big house is the relief from troubles of paying rent monthly and other troubles like adjusting in small or congested house.
Buying a bike is the relief from walking on foot or buying a new car is the relief from discomfort while driving a bike.
Buying a new clothes is the relief from wearing worn-out old clothes and/or societal negative judgement/image.

Even sex or **** is JUST a kind of relief from uncontrollable sexual impulses. Love TOO is just a relief from feelings of emptiness/monotonousness/boredom of life.
I would go even to the point of claiming that EVEN seemingly altruistic and selfless act such as feeding the poor people is nothing but JUST a psychological relief from mental/psychological pain of seeing poor people suffering from hunger.

EVEN SO, all types of pleasures, UNLIKE pain/suffering, are ephemeral/fleeting and soon turn into boredom/monotonousness. For example, no matter how much you love any particular dish you can't eat it more than few times constantly. You can't watch your favourite movie more than twice or thrice continuously. It will soon start to get boring.

As the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer used to say ALL life is suffering, NOT any particular part or phase of life since it's a constant/relentless struggle in running away from pain/suffering(NOT in running behind pleasures because as I said above we don't actually run behind pleasures of life but run away from suffering/pain/discomfort). If life had really any positive value there would be no such thing as boredom at all, merely life would satisfy us in itself and we wouldn't be supposed to look for anything.

Human (And animals' too) body and mind have been evolved so pathetically that they are constantly, 24*7 in need of something.

Marta Mroczkowska-FB
Who do you think God is? Are you all atheists? We were born without our will, we have to work, eat, ****, make babies and the world continues... What is the point? And in many religious we have to take suffering and carry on... Why? Why, as believed, we cannot die right now and go to haven? What's the point to do this thing every day over and over and grow another beings to do the same?


"There is some wisdom in taking a gloomy view, in looking upon the world as a kind of Hell, and in confining one's efforts to securing a little room that shall not be exposed to the fire. The fool rushes after the pleasures of life and finds himself their dupe; the wise man avoids its evils; and even if, notwithstanding his precautions, he falls into misfortune, that is the fault of fate, not of his own folly. As far as he is successful in his endeavours, he cannot be said to have lived a life of illusion; for the evils which he shuns are very real. Even if he goes too far out of his way to avoid evils, and makes an unnecessary sacrifice of pleasure, he is, in reality, not the worse off for that; for all pleasures are chimerical, and to mourn for having lost any of them is a frivolous and even ridiculous proceeding."
- Arthur Schopenhauer
