"I don't know how can one walk past a tree and not feel happy for being able to see it. Or how is that possible, speaking to people, not to feel happy and not to "love" them? I always feel happy but sometimes can't show it. Just look at a child. Or look at the good-given sunrise. Look at the eyes that gaze at you and love you. Is that really possible being miserable?"
Myshkin, Dostoïevski's fictional character
I'm not a heap of rubbish that cats can search and rip appart some rotten food to satisfy their unfaithful bellies. I'll kick them away, i'll break their ribs, i don't want parasites, i want on me the gaze of a strong, loveful person.
Down there on earth i speak what i want and what i feel, if it's not matching, i prefere to hear the truth, i respect the choices, but i will discard, push away gently but definitely, and continue my way to the right person. I see too many uncertain persons around me, which leads to misunderstandings and open conflicts.
I really like this quote, I feel like that too so often now.
RépondreSupprimerYeah i like it too, and i enjoy that it's highly ironic to me, because it's taken from a book titled "the idiot" by dostoievsky (i think, i haven't read it but i plan to find a copy of it), you see the person that is showing signs of enjoying the most simple things around, having the most sincere feeling, and being emotionally intelligent, is called by the "normal" dysfunctional minds an "idiot", and is probably left alone in the end, it shows the irrationality of the human mind when controlled by fears and past conditionings;
RépondreSupprimerI think it's sadly amusing, and that i could enjoy that book.
It's true too that there is too ways of being enlightened (and so rise to love and happiness for the simplest things, events and people), that is not having developped one's identifying mind or by having overcome the identifying mind, (the identifying mind builds the ego), so in short is hence you're above or under, a fully conscious person or a simple minded one, those two cases, we might say, have transcended the conflict-craving ego, and are out of the mind, which is enlightenment, sure it's better to be beyond ego (even if it means to have suffered a while and finally had enough that allowed to push forward) than to be below, and be what we could call a retard;
The rest of humans are in the norm, in the middle, completely lost and compelled by the always wanting, desiring, consuming ego.
I want to say something not deep at all, but a pleasant memory: I remember I had a copy of "The Idiot" in another language, I think it was in German or Italian... I am not sure now which, but I remember looking at the pages and thinking it was a dense text even though I couldn't understand it. I did try to read it in English, but I was too young and it bored me.
