Day 2514, wanderer.

Daily picture, Quotes

 

Friedrich Nietzsche

Beyond good and evil
What is noble?

278 – Wanderer, who are you? I watch you go on your way, without scorn, without love, with impenetrable eyes – damp and downhearted, like a plumb line that returns unsatisfied from every depth back into the light (what was it looking for down there?), with a breast that does not sigh, with lips that hide their disgust,with a hand that only grips slowly:who are you? What have you done? Take a rest here, this spot is hospitable to everyone, – relax! And whoever you may be: what would you like now? What do you find relaxing? Just name it: I’ll give you whatever I have! – “Relaxing? Relaxing? How inquisitive you are! What are you saying! But please, give me – –” What? What? Just say it! – “Another mask! A second mask!” …

Day 2385, eight billion.

Daily picture, Poetry

Have you ever stood still while having the thought that there are eight billion people on this earth with eight billion ways of looking at the same world as you do and live in? 

Eight billion ways to process all of this information and at least eight billion ways of believing what is processed. 
Eight billion people that, by design, have to experience themselves as the center of their world. 

Eight billion people conversating with themselves and finding words to decipher their beliefs. 

Eight billion people who believe that they are alone in the world but still cling to the hope that there is another that will understand...them.  

Eight billion people that close their eyes every night, helpless like we all are in our sleep.

Eight billion people who are only equal in their silence.
