"The Second Coming"
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
I was wasting my life, always thinking about myself.
-Morrissey
Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.
You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
-Elizabeth Gilbert
Learning is retained through putting into practice; family prestige is maintained through good behavior; a respectable person is recognised by his excellent qualities; and anger is seen in the eyes.
No one who does good deeds will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come. When such people die, they go to other realms where the righteous live.
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
Life becomes a festival when gaiety and culture blend.
