oblivion [Theme]
The time of human life is a moment; its essence is eternal flow; feeling - vague; the structure of the whole body is perishable; soul is unstable; fate is mysterious; fame is unreliable. In a word, everything related to the body is like a stream, everything related to the soul is like a dream and smoke. Life is a struggle and a journey through a foreign land; posthumous glory - oblivion. But what can lead to the path? Nothing but philosophy
And isn’t the benefactor of humanity the one who gives people oblivion?
Fashion is made to go out of fashion. Fashion is for rich slackers, it is aimed at oblivion. And style is eternal!

Quote Explanation: 1923
Perhaps this is the most terrible part of death - oblivion.
In my opinion, we live in a period of cultural amnesia, that is, a period when not memory is cultivated, but oblivion. <...>…attempts to push historical memory to the periphery, especially about the crimes of Nazi Germany and the extermination of Jews, are being made quite deliberately. <...> Where there is no God, the ability to forget is the only condition for happiness. <...> A person who understands happiness in this way will cultivate forgetfulness more and more, because for many people God no longer exists. But one cannot build one's happiness on forgetting the victims of history.
If we do not kindle the warmth of faith in our hearts, then faith can be completely extinguished in us due to negligence; Christianity, with all its sacraments, may, as it were, die completely for us. The enemy is only trying to extinguish faith in the heart and bring into oblivion all the truths of Christianity. That is why we see people who are Christians by name only, but by their deeds they are perfect pagans.
Not only history is forgotten, people too.
Happiness, - said Schwartz. - How it shrinks in memory! Like cheap fabric when washed. Only trouble counts.

But sometimes death doesn't make sense. Sometimes you just kill, and even if you hate what you do, you are a soldier, this is your trade, and you kill again. Your friends are dying. The ones you love die. And when your own life comes to an end, you have no certainty that you did all this for some great purpose. On the contrary, you know for sure that something important has been taken from you, and you have given it up yourself. And the burden of this knowledge will remain with you until death. Only death will bring you oblivion.
