Sickening humanity

Abraham Lincoln quote




People earn what they earn.

Many people complain they don't have the life they want. But when asked what exactly they want, they don't know.
When asked to work on what they want, they don't want to.
When shown the great people who actually work for to build a dream, they laugh.
They sneer, they grab a feet, throw fires.

People forget, great things might fall so quick but they weren't built overnight.

Buying happiness

Yes, you can buy happiness.
You just need to know what to buy: People.

Ok, not exactly. According to this book 'The Geography of Bliss', by Eric Weiner (that's 'e' before 'i', ok) because human is a party, eh, social animal (rawr), happiness is about being with other people. So, one way to be happy is to spend your money on other people. Be it to buy something for a stranger, friends, or family, when your money help to make other people happy, you'll be happier too.

So..um, can I borrow $20?

How to be happy - Eric Weiner

Keep asking questions

"Another reason why it is important to keep asking questions even thought there are no clear answers, is in order to remind ourselves of our ignorance. Science is built not only on knowledge. It is also built on ignorance. It is very, very important to always remember what we don't know."

- Dr. Yuval Noah Harari,
History Professor in Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Pain and pleasure

Chuck Palahniuk quote

Modern Myth

Myth are public dreams. Dreams are private myths. Joseph Campbell.

The price of life

Everything comes with a price. The only important question is, are you willing to pay?
It's not a dream when you are not ready to die for it.

Blood and sex



There are two things that automatically, almost irresistibly, grab our attention: Blood and sex, the remnants of our primal instincts.

Chair consistency

"That is my spot, in an ever-changing world, it is a single point of consistency. If my life were expressed as a function on a four dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, that spot, from the moment I first sat on it, would be 0-0-0-0."
- Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory
