the senselessness [Theme] Page 2
In line at the store, at the traffic lights, in the elevator, in the toilet... as soon as there is a certain pause, free space for thoughts, we stumble into the phone at the first opportunity, meaninglessly scrolling through social networks and checking mail ten times in a row. We seem afraid of being left alone with ourselves. We are afraid to be face to face with complex, deep, important questions that swarm in our heads. We slough them off, run away from them, fleeing from reflection by the incessant stream of multi-colored flashes of the screen.
Believing in the meaninglessness of trust - we begin to betray others!
Don't they understand that changing history is pointless? Instead of some problems, others will appear.
... In difficult hours, when the "suffering man" plunges into liberating depths of self-accusation, he admitted to himself that his fifty-two easily slipped years are as insignificant against the background of the great struggle for existence as the smoke of a cigarette in a flaming train carriage is invisible.
If there is no understanding in the heart of what is good and what is evil, then all efforts are in vain. For little things, forgetting about the main thing, we become small people looking only for violence.
Quote Explanation: Feeling of Elevation: Increasing
Our existence is meaningless. But this is in the order of things. In terms of need, there is no need.
If you find yourself in the dark and see even a faint ray of light, you should go to it, instead of speculating whether it makes sense to do it or not. Maybe it really doesn't make sense. But just sitting in the dark doesn't make sense either way.
What a strange sight it is to watch an entire species - billions of human beings - playing and listening to meaningless tonal combinations, seriously devoting much of their time to the subject they call "music." At least, this feature of the human race greatly perplexed the intelligent aliens, the Overlords from the novel by Arthur Clarke "The End of Childhood." Curiosity made them disembark and attend the concert. They politely listen to the music, after the concert they congratulate the composer on his "greatest masterpiece", but in reality the music itself remains completely incomprehensible to them. Aliens cannot understand what happens to human beings when they listen to or compose music, because absolutely nothing happens to them. They themselves are devoid of music as a species.
(And yet these types in their ties and boots also had to die. True, later than me, but, in fact, not much. They fished out some names from their papers, they chased people to imprison them or shoot them : They had their own views on the future of Spain and much more. Their businesslike agility jarred me and seemed comical, they looked crazy, and I would not want to be in their place.)
For almost ten years I have been chasing this ungrateful fish. And it wasn't even good for shark bait.
Quote Explanation: From the prologue
- Do people intentionally cause malfunctions? It's pointless.
- Yes, it's just that your memories consist of zeros and ones, and our memories consist entirely of the mistakes of the past.

If people in mourning behave is meaningless, it is only because human life is meaningless, and grief only reveals this truth.
Pleading was in vain, fear not.
First think about the correct and fair;
Second, thoroughly perfection on the Path.
Third, to comprehend all the arts;
Fourth - know the ways of all things;
Fifth - recognize the advantages and inferiority of all things;
Sixth - weigh the dignity of all, remember use;
Seventh - pronti and that unknown to the eye;
Eighth - pay attention even to the minor;
Ninth - don't do pointless things.

The most senseless, good for nothing, the poisonous emotion of emotions - envy.
