death [Theme] Page 3
I don’t understand those philosophers who constantly say: remember death, life is nothing; desires, pleasures - everything is a dream. If death is the cessation of life, then can I forget, can I reject that treasure that was given to me for a short time, once I have lost it, I will lose it forever and will never replace it. If death is only a transition to immortality, then life is the essence of immortality and cannot and should not be forgotten. On the contrary, pay attention to it in order to make it worthy of immortality.
This is a mortal's lot!
We can bring salvation to humanity only by our own good behavior; otherwise we will rush by like a fatal comet, leaving devastation and death everywhere in our wake.
Quote Explanation: Erasmus of Rotterdam "The Wisdom of All Ages"
Despite the evidence of death, all people live as if they will not die. Human life is like attacking a fortress that contains immortality.
Quote Explanation: Diary. 1939
And all these stupid people, Roderick... If you don’t want Ligadon, don’t buy it. If you don't want to get hooked, don't lean on it. They are angry that we made it available and desirable. You idiots, this is our job! These people... First they want a cheap lunch in five minutes, and then they whine that it's made of crap and plastic. McDonald's would only serve coleslaw if people ate it. It's there, but people don't buy it. We'll do research on AIDS, diabetes and heart disease, but first we'll figure out how to make old penises stand five minutes longer. What is the market share of sluggish members, Roderick? Sixty, seventy percent of the market belongs to the pharmaceutical industry? That year the Pentagon spent eighty-three million on Viagra. Meanwhile, the fucking Supreme Court is doing its thing: overturning women's constitutional right to abortion, taking away not only their choice, but their future, their potential. We turn men into inseminators, and women into factories producing what? - poor labor force. Which one will spend what? - the little that earns for consumption. And what desires do we inspire in them? - at home, which they cannot afford. Cars that poison the air. Disposable plastic. Clothes made by hungry children in third world countries. And they want it all so badly that they beg, scream, insist. And the problem... is us? These stupid monsters, these money-grubbers, these greedy mouths. They blame you and me for everything. They themselves invented us. They always needed us. So you and I have nothing to embarrass, brother. It's time to pay. So let’s not hide in the basement as if we have something to be ashamed of. No. Not for us. You and me against the world. Let death itself appear! If she wants damn Madeleine Usher, she should look me in the eye first.
- And me - yes. But they are no longer there. When you see three coffins being lowered into the ground, and two more on the way, you are in despair. You start to think that life is so fucking short.
The earthly Soul was leaving this world.
And he fell asleep so as not to wake up.
The last day for him is life for all of us!
But they themselves became the cause of even greater evil...
He only has a day left to live.
Society, instead of recognizing the danger of such a phenomenon, encourages it, since it is interested in increasing the number of obedient consumers feeding the system, and people do not understand what kind of retribution awaits them: their individuality will remain underdeveloped or will die altogether.
Quote Explanation: Chapter 2
-Which I will divide among the members of the Shelby family. This will be my legacy. Instead of me... there will be money left. Because for most of my loved ones, my value lies in them! In fucking money. They are my strength.
He was right again. The Varangians stayed with her when their own betrayed her. And it’s stupid to blame them for caring about themselves too.
I dedicated my life to death.
