Happy New Year!

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s

words await another voice.  And to make an end is to make a beginning.”

T.S. Eliot

A good article about the relevance of Schopenhauer’s thought in today’s world.

Fear of Suffering is Suffering

“The man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.”

Michel de Montaigne

I came to myself in a dark wood…

“In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself within a dark wood where the straight way was lost.”

Dante Aligheri

How Jews Became Over-Represented in Western Politics

Gilad Atzmon explains how fanatical, religious, ultra-corrupt Jews become extrememly over-representative in politics, especially in English-speaking countries, where they strategize themselves to carry out their religious lunacy:

Thank Heaven for Martial Environmental Conservationists

I can’t imagine how much more devastated and destroyed Nature would be without all environmental conservationists who exist. They do help to slow down the destruction of the natural world, but sadly, I think it is only a slowing, rather than a stopping of the destruction because there are not enough people who care to preserve the natural world. There are far more people who simply don’t care about nature than there are those who are awake enough to see the reality of the consequences of human greed.

Unfortunately, there are not enough conservationists willing to do what is necessary: use force, the language of the rapists of the earth. I’m so happy that the Sea Shepherds exist! They just saved 800 endangered blue-fin tuna:

Despair dissolves illusions

Despair … is the only cure for illusion. Without despair we cannot transfer our allegiance to reality — it’s a kind of mourning period for our fantasies. Some people do not survive this despair, but no major change within a person can occur without it.

Philip Slater, Earthwalk

Huxley Quotes Dr. Erich Fromm

Our contemporary society, in spite of its material, intellectual and political progress, is increasingly less conducive to mental health, and tends to undermine the inner security, happiness, reason and the capacity for love in the individual; it tends to turn him into an automaton who pays for his human failure with increasing mental sickness, and with despair hidden under a frantic drive for work and so-called pleasure.

Dr. Erich Fromm, from A. Huxley’s Brave New World

It is not possible…

“It is not possible to discuss what cannot be imagined.“ – The Thanatologist

People Generally Prefer Bubbles

People constrict their lives into tiny little bubbles, so that they cannot feel ‘too much’ because they don’t have the internal resources to handle ‘too much’. Then, they fill their tiny little bubbles with lots of nonsense and bullshit, anything to fill it up; entertainment, small-talk, whatever, anything that gives a feeling of ‘filling it up’ (but never with anything utterly real) so that they sufficiently occupy themselves completely within their tiny little bubbles. It is in this way that average normal people ensure themselves against ever feeling ‘too much’, for they remain constantly, incessantly, until death, occupied with the pettiness of their tiny little lives filled with consumption. These people are cowards, because they cannot bear to open their eyes to what is there in front of them; to the systematic annihilation of Nature, to the disintegration of classic Virtues, to anything that requires honesty, integrity, and a hard, long look in the mirror!
