Food for soul. [TW]
I will be sharing my writings here, quotes and poems. Some content might talk about Suicide and desth with graphic references. I will mark such posts at the start of posting it, so that any reader doesnt get triggered.
If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.
Kristin Hannah
A thing may happen and be a total lie; another thing may not happen and be truer than the truth.
Tim O'Brien
(War, Loss, Death)
I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another.
Erich Maria Remarque, All Quiet on the Western Front
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
John Lennon, Imagine
(War, Loss, Death)
But now, for the first time, I see you are a man like me. I thought of your hand-grenades, of your bayonet, of your rifle; now I see your wife and your face and our fellowship. Forgive me, comrade. We always see it too late. Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony--Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?
Erich Maria Remarque
Without our vices. We won't be ourselves. shades that define us. Some stars that shine, maybe do so because they burn wildly off the virtues and vices. Take one or the other away, I think it would collapse into itself
In that sense I think, sometimes miracles are born of entities possessing malice. Like it's a mishap in its entirety and effect, yet it can be an agent powering miracles
emptiness. its a lack of someone, something, some place, some emotion, its complicated, being empty maybe is actually different that what i described, it maybe is numbness, where there is no good and no bad. when you stop living and are just escaping life, when its just static. you dont feel too good or too bad. then again, i doubt we ever feel empty, there is always something our mind experiences. and even nothingness is measured
only the dead find emptiness in its true form. not something the living may be acquainted with.
if you look at it in terms of the emptiness in the universe like when there was no observable universe. scientists say that its not only possible that there was once nothing, but something can be born out of nothing, like our universe. so its so complicated what nothingness is
ficiton isnt fiction in the end is it ? when you can almost feel the character and want them and want to be them, its not fiction anymore. its part of you and if you feel what you feel is real, then it almost is
Living a good life. I dont know. It cant just be in this world, unless we learn to believe in a fictional side of it, a side where we can have what we get or at least belive that good exists and what we dream of exists, even if we may never reach those places and touch those things.
Somehow we need an alternate reality, even if the falsities of it are thrust into our face and the obvious righteous existence of the reality pushes us to a darker side where all we can believe in is that monsters are real and will get us, until we become them ourselves.
This alternate reality is much needed, if we are to remain sane, because there are agents, agents of madness born from the reality that we are part of, it willl turn us sour and mad and terrible knowing that not only will we not have what we want, we will suffer for believing in it.
