I've Read 30.000 Quotes, here are 300 Worth Spending Time On - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4nXaH1_pKmsfs0

[@derekstaroba]

A lot of these quotes really do not logically follow. For ex.: "Theory is knowledge that doesn't work. Practice is when everything works and you don't know why" Well a theory is a proven and thoroughly tested hypothesis that works for all known intents and purposes, so no. Also, practice makes perfect? Not even sure how to reply to that as its nonsense. Of course you know it works and why. Thats why you practiced to produce repeatable results. You guys buy this nonsense(?!)😒

[@philippedefossez3421]

"For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfill themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow. Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail. A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live. When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. . . . Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all. A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one’s suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother. So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness." - From "Wandering: Notes and Sketches" by Hermann Hesse (translated by James Wright)

I know one that is disturbing. when one acts on whim and immediately reverts to tactic 1, protect that of inner circle. I realized this and found this very disturbing. witnessing another guy/dude/acquaintance/doubting friend. I mean immediate hunch/gut reaction, that in itself to me is disturbing. for I see emotional response not logical one. there is evil within. and I so hope to supress that in myself. see it as see being in everyone and I reject it being thing in everyone cause that in itself disturbs me. could be for even split second but see it, realize it is there. willingness to betray, if things set in ones persons way. while the other not. feel deep fear for so hope to drive it out of human nature. and of others. the unguided part of someone. like a beast within. what does this mean? that would betray for their own? but I realize one of hardest parts of being human being is knowing yourself. self-awareness factor/part. I say its hard because often we don't see our wrongs/they often escape us or remain invisible within us till a later date where it comes out. it's part where can't just tell someone and expect response you have to work it out for yourself. but with little knowledge how does one know? could be within us somewhere deep inside and we wouldn't know. I realize we are in part all slaves to uncertainty. before question others we must first. question ourselves. what's wrong in someone else most accurately represents ours/ or seems most similar. its a bitter pill to chew. I know. cause none of us, I mean none. including myself would never like to admit to ordeals. but its necessary to drive out the hypocrisy. in ourselves. it is paramount.. our immediate knee jerk reactions for once (which I find disturbing in itself). but fear of self hypocrisy is something we all share or rather should share, from the educated person. it is ultimate nightmare scenario for us. for both self shame and humiliation aspect. having said that we are all hypocrites in some ordeals than others, not like something we human beings don't already know deep down. to different degrees.

In this age of social media narcissism and the shallowest of ideas taken as gospel, Hesse brings the clear light of wisdom back to life. Used to be required reading in schools. Steppenwolf was always my favorite of his books and revealed the framework for a life well lived.

I am only new to worldly wisdom because I have not read more than 200 books of world classics, but even they made me realize that there is a philosophy of literature that is not visible to everyone. As one genius said, there is a bad reader who sees nothing from the books he has read, a good reader who sees the philosophy of the works and the best reader who sees in the books between the lines even what is not there. I can wait and dream, ponder the meaning of things, and I will strive to realize my dream career, no matter what it costs me!

The Maturity begins when One lives for others is Honestly one of the Most Accurate FACTS of life that MOST PEOPLE will never realize!

[@tommychappell6359]

Great but not exactly unobvious is it/hard truth to know, is it? maturity is not being biggoted in thinking only person who knows truth. some things are just more 'unironic' in nature. I see connected with self importance and self-grandiosity. thing is if we first came upon knowledge do not think we all would be doing precisely that? true maturity is knowing deeper truths which lie within nature. not in oneself. people may know what you know but 'choose' not to do it anyway. or maybe there could be bunch of others reasons. you have to be more than a saint to win the minds of men. must know people at near atomic level. or maybe its just not in ones ability, could be socially handicapped or see more value in being real than fake. simply being/acting mature does not make you mature. maybe someone got caught up midway and got caught in 'crossfire' that caused great loss, yet still have that knowledge. and understand that even when do know everything many knowledges are not present. to be seen/heard/witnessed or understood, yet lie there in front of you. hidden in plain sight. (but then would know one would nitpick to save themselves, if proven wrong). Simply acting mature does not make you mature must demonstrate, true maturity is knowing how people work/understanding things at their corest level (and knowing even then you might only be seeing 30% of the picture, tiny fraction/portion), this has always been my issue with people, as appreciative/''thankful'' as am with trying, doing so does not score bonus points, must do much more and treat everyone with same dignity, including ones least like/greatest enemies. However I agree in part we must limit our pleasure and our impulses, that is something I do connect with. not forget that. everything is a responsibility. in pleasure/pain. also better to be unhappy for sake of being unhappy without reason than to happy without reason (to do so). in fact its why I no longer play games. because I know where games can lead. when un-regulated, as is with humour/generalized stupidity. I also agree on specific aspect that in the end all of our desintations ultimately lead up to same things. purpose to do good, so why limit the progress? my answer is yes, and no... yes to some, no to others. im not a guy who thinks black and white, I actually think in multiple greys. things can be 'both' or 'none' or 'other' at same time. while its cliche to say this is my ethic. as much as support in individual also lot I don't support. so it is a battle between the two. also a guy who likes to fight for reason FOR, even at microest level if to save other. same could be said with being lesser category as well. if we don't have someone to fight for us, then who are we at end of the day? (even when we seem 'wrong') I mean hard gained logic. cause sometimes we are in fact right but in way we didn't understand in situation and so it is with those who cast away wrong, who thought they were genuinely wrong to in fact be upstated. for reason to give that unchallenged/unquestioned other can be wrong, and get wrongly persecuted for. not just to look at should but look at the could as well. when advocate for someone in good/bad you mark where your line is and people tend not to forget which line drew. or when someone should really have took your side not the other. or if anything to be part of wrongful persecution that would be considered unfair to most educated. complex statement for complex reality. as it is. it is not however realistic to assume others save ourselves, we must also do that ourselves. more knowledge results in better/wise decisions, better judgement. however do also see subjective element in there as well. as far as ive got.

I read 'The Glass Bead Game' when I was 19, in 1976 and loved it. It is a long one though, for sure. The second part is in the form of 3 short stories as I recall (still part of the main story in a way) and they are worth reading for their own sake. I think 'Narcissus and Goldmund' is a great story you would enjoy if you don't know it. Cheers.
