Just wanted to share this gem i just found :) (even though this will probably start a new circle jerk)


“Did you ever say Yes to a single joy? O my friends, then you said Yes to all woe as well. All things are chained and entwined together, all things are in love; if ever you wanted one moment twice, if ever you said: ‘You please me, happiness! Abide, moment!’ then you wanted everything to return!” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Good stuff.

But I think he may be biased a bit.  Greater awareness doesn't necessarily means greater awareness of others' suffering.  Awareness can go in any direction, and it doesn't have to be other people's emotions.  You can tell suffering people to fuck off, and that's not gonna be any less enlightened of a reaction.

Yes. That's why he said you can chose to feed the hungry or to wake up from the dream. The hunger will go away, either way is fine.
