“Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment. Which is to say that it exists for you: over the others, the ones who don’t suffer, time flows, so that they don’t live in time, in fact they never have.”
― Emil Cioran

Something is possible because something is immpossible. James S. saint.

My first impression was that it must be wrong but when i thought over it, i found it true.

Emmm… thanks for the mention, but in English, it is just a little different. :wink:

Nothing is possible until something is impossible.

And it is;
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

I was trying to quote it then I accidentally deleted it.
It was a reported comment anyways.

Here comes the rage, perhaps.

Life … is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

In all we do, and hear, and see,
Is restless Toil and Vanity.
While yet the rolling earth abides,
Men come and go like ocean tides”
― Anne Brontë, Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell

You are welcome, James.

Though, I found it worth mentioning and thus poated. I take it as my intellectual duty to say the truth, even if it contradicts my perception.

“. . . presume not God to scan,
The proper study of Mankind is Man_.”—Alexander Pope

“There is no cure for birth and death except to try to enjoy the interval”. --George Santayana

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.
