dreamy

alain de botton continues to blow my mind...
A simple problem of arithmetic: there are far more ambitions than there are grand destinies available
After one or two of life's serious setbacks, it becomes hard to remain entirely dry-eyed when 'I will survive' comes on the radio.
Monogamy is a fine ideal but when someone says of their partner 'I trust them a 1000%,' it's hard not to feel a little depressed.
To be as tough as the world to give kids the strength to deal with it eventually, or to be far less tough - for the very same reason.
Is that things are OK proof that it was ridiculous to worry - or are things OK only because one worried?
So many relationships spoilt by our tendency to become mean when we are in fact hurt.
Haunted by Saul Bellow's remark: 'it is a wise man who is able to outgrow the attitudes to women of his father.'

Not to be sentimental....
Not to be sentimental, as I sound, but why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland-fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?

laziness
"What gets called 'laziness' is usually a pull towards another conflicting kind of work rather than a desire to do nothing."

I Second That
“life is not easy for any of us. but what of that? we must have perseverance and, above all, confidence in ourselves. we must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” – Marie Curie
