People jump back and forth in pursuit of pleasures only because they see the emptiness of their
lives more clearly than they do
the emptiness of whichever new entertainment
attracts them.
— Blaise Pascal
The things we do to make our
life more comfortable remind me of an ostrich who hides his head in order not
to see his enemies. We behave even worse than an ostrich. In order to achieve
some dubious questionable future, we definitely destroy our life in the clearly
defined present time.
People today foolishly try to
believe that all the world's senselessness and cruelty — the richness of the
few, the great poverty of the many, the violence, and warfare — happens outside
their own lives and does not interfere with them and their way of life.
A misconception remains a misconception,
even when it is shared by the majority of the people.
