"Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?"
Is human life just a dream, from which we never really awake, as some great thinkers claim? Are we submerged by our feelings, by our loves and hates, by our ideas of good, bad, beautiful, awful? Are we incapable of knowing beyond those ideas and feelings?
We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep
William Shakespeare, The Tempest (Folger Shakespeare Library)
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea.
Joseph Conrad
"When I consider the short duration of my life, swallowed up in the eternity that lies before and after it, when I consider the little space I fill and I see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I rest frightened, and astonished, for there is no reason why I should be here rather than there. Why now rather than then? Who has put me here? By whose order and direction have this place and time have been ascribed to me?"
By Pascal
What is Reality, is it real, do we honestly really feel, hate, love, or hunger,, do I really truly cry or laugh at a joke, or is it just something society tells me I should do.... mmmm,
I always have Questions I believe in Intuition, I believe in a higher power though I will never say it's the "god' of the bible .
or are we survival machines, blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes, as Richard Dawkins has said...
I like this above Quote selfish Molecules wow how right is that.....
Love gives meaning in are lives , this I understand, but love never sticks around, well for me anyone....True Friendships and the worship of "god" was so long ago said to bring your own Happiness. But I think you need to understand yourself and accept your self to truly be happy.... that's just my thought on it
Just some thoughts to think on it is after 4 am not even tired
Okay I know this has nothing to do with the blog but I love it!!!
P.S I'm answering blog comments on my blog, lazy day today it's almost 8:15 am now and I'm still awake
