On the Heights of Despair

 




"Why do men insist on achieving something ? Would it not be better if they stood still under the sun in calm and silent immobility ? What is there to accomplish ? Why so much effort and ambition ? Man has forgotten the meaning of silence." Emil Cioran On the Heights of Despair















— Hannah Arendt

 "I will admit that there are other people who are primarily interested in doing something. I am not. I can very well live without doing anything. But I cannot live without at least trying to understand whatever happens."

— Hannah Arend

Leonard Cohen dance me to the end of love


Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic til Im gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
Were both of us beneath our love, were both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till Im gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love

GOIN' DOWN SLOW HOWLIN' WOLF - YouTube


https://www.youtube.com › watch

Lyrics
Man, you know I done enjoyed things that kings and queens
Will never have
In fact, things kings and queens can't never get
And they don't even know about it
And good times?
I have had my fun
If I never get well no more
I have had my fun
If I never get well no more
Whoa, my health is fadin'
Oh yes, I'm goin' down slow
Now look here, I did not say, I was a millionaire
But I said, I have spent more money than a millionaire
'Cause if I had kept all of the money I had already spent
I would've been a millionaire a long time ago
And women, well, googly moogly
Please write my mama
Tell her the shape I'm in
Please write old mother
Tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her pray for me
Forgive me for my sins

Quoting Naom Chomsky



“The structure of language determines not only thought, but reality itself.”
- Noam Chomsky


"As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome." - Noam Chomsky

"The world is a very puzzling place. If you're not willing to be puzzled, you just become a replica of someone else's mind."
- Noam Chomsky  


“Confine yourself to the present.” - Marcus Aurelius
