Men make plans, God laughs. I'm laughing at you now, as I always have. You think you honour me with your pursuit, you do not. You are a mouse chasing a lion, a mere planet in orbit of a raging sun

I can't find your purpose for you. You probably can't find your purpose for you. Your purpose will — just maybe — find you. Like every kind of Big Love, it's not in your control. It strikes, finally, suddenly, when least expected, with the full fury of a hurricane. Or it gathers around you, building slowly, like snow melting into spring. But the more it's painstakingly stalked and carefully hunted, cajoled and wheedled, coaxed and lured with toy-store charms and cheap tricks — the more it just seems to rumble on off into the dusty horizon. If, that is, you're dumb, naïve, innocent, and vulnerable enough to let it.
Umair Haque

I feel that art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm. I think that art has something to do with an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction.

If I ask you for the smallest unit of time you can possibly think of, you might suggest a second, or a millisecond, or a nanosecond if you're clever.

To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.

"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted."- Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley

"I'm never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I'm never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone's life
has been hard enough already
it's hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone's playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don't want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there's gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts."

"And people are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don't know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage. […] Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives."
Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother Theo (July 1880)

Aprende la Gran Verdad: LO QUE TÚ PIENSAS SE MANIFIESTA
CADA PALABRA QUE PRONUNCIAS ES UN DECRETO. Positivo o negativo. Si es positivo se te manifiesta en bien. Si es negativo se te manifiesta en mal, si es contra el prójimo es lo mismo que si lo estuvieras decretando contra ti. SE TE DEVUELVE. Si es bondadoso y comprensivo hacia el prójimo, recibirás bondad y comprensión de los demás hacia ti.
Cuando estés con otras personas y se den conversaciones negativas piensa: NO LO ACEPTO NI PARA MI NI PARA ELLOS.
Yo soy inteligente, con la inteligencia de Dios mismo, ya que soy creado de la esencia misma del Creador, por la inteligencia, con la inteligencia y de la inteligencia de Dios.Yo no tengo miedo. No quiero el temor. Dios es amor y en toda la creación no hay nada a que tema. Yo tengo fe. Quiero sentir fe.
La segunda vez que tropezamos con aquella idea nueva la comprendemos un poquito mejor.
Las células movidas comienzan a trabajar la idea, y al poco tiempo "se hace la luz" en nuestra mente, o sea, que aceptamos la idea,
la adoptamos y la ponemos en práctica automáticamente.
Antes de emprender cualquier oficio que sea, el candidato que lo va a desempeñar recibe instrucciones o estudia la técnica del mismo.
Sin embargo hay uno que emprende su comentido totalmente a ciegas, sin instrucciones, sin técnica, sin brújula, compás o diseño, sin nociones de lo que va a encontrar.
Es el ser humano; que es lanzado a la tarea de VIVIR.
DECLARO que la verdad de este problema es armonía, amor, inteligencia, justicia, abundancia, vida, salud, cualquiera sea lo opuesto a la condición negativa que se está manifestando en este momento… GRACIAS PADRE QUE ME HAS OIDO.

"Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat."

"Depression is humiliating. It turns intelligent, kind people into zombies who can't wash a dish or change their socks. It affects the ability to think clearly, to feel anything, to ascribe value to your children, your lifelong passions, your relative good fortune. It scoops out your normal healthy ability to cope with bad days and bad news, and replaces it with an unrecognizable sludge that finds no pleasure, no delight, no point in anything outside of bed. You alienate your friends because you can't comport yourself socially, you risk your job because you can't concentrate, you live in moderate squalor because you have no energy to stand up, let alone take out the garbage. You become pathetic and you know it. And you have no capacity to stop the downward plunge. You have no perspective, no emotional reserves, no faith that it will get better. So you feel guilty and ashamed of your inability to deal with life like a regular human, which exacerbates the depression and the isolation. If you've never been depressed, thank your lucky stars and back off the folks who take a pill so they can make eye contact with the grocery store cashier. No one on earth would choose the nightmare of depression over an averagely turbulent normal life.
It's not an incapacity to cope with day to day living in the modern world. It's an incapacity to function. At all. If you and your loved ones have been spared, every blessing to you. If depression has taken root in you or your loved ones, every blessing to you, too. No one chooses it. No one deserves it. It runs in families, it ruins families. You cannot imagine what it takes to feign normalcy, to show up to work, to make a dentist appointment, to pay bills, to walk your dog, to return library books on time, to keep enough toilet paper on hand, when you are exerting most of your capacity on trying not to kill yourself. Depression is real. Just because you've never had it doesn't make it imaginary. Compassion is also real. And a depressed person may cling desperately to it until they are out of the woods and they may remember your compassion for the rest of their lives as a force greater than their depression. Have a heart. Judge not lest ye be judged."

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS.
Depression is not a synonym for being sad or having a bad day/bad week.
It's not a PHASE. It's not a CHOICE. It's not LAZINESS.

If you can sit upon a humble seat,
My friend Torquatus, and endure to eat
A homely dish, a salad all the treat:
Sir, I shall make a feast, my friends invite,
And beg that you wou'd sup with me tonight.
My liquor flow'd from the Minturnian vine,
In Taurus' Consulship, 'tis common wine;
If you have better, let your flasks be sent;
Or let what I, the lord, provide, content.
My servants sweep and furnish ev'ry room,
My dishes all are cleans'd against you come:
Forbear thy wanton hopes, and toil for gain,
And Moschus' cause; 'tis all but idle pain.
Tomorrow Caesar's Birthday comes, to give
Release to cares, and a small time to live.
Then we may sleep 'till Noon, and gay delight
And merry talk prolong the summer's night.
