**If instead of a gem, or even a flower.. we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend,.. that would be giving as the angels give** **there are 2 ways of spreading light=to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it..and on the other hand.. there are 2 ways to escape misery in life music....and cats** **lets live in such a way that when we come to die even the undertaker will feel sorry**
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” Elie Wiesel
and this is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a whimper. (i know i read it in or as a prelude to a story, but i have no recollection who is originally supposed to have said it.) (and i don't care what is the opposite of love. the opposite of hate, is universally mutual consideration, and it is that, which the lack of is hell) (i have a lot of respect for old elie, but it was by logically nuanced strategy that he was able to accomplish what he did, and could never have otherwise) while indifference is one pitfall, the equal other is to act on blind passion.
From "Iron Mike Tyson" ... tweeted after the death of George Floyd : ..." if whites rioted every time a negro male killed a white person in the US, there would never be a minute's peace."
The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts. - Bertrand Russell Every excess of passion is a digression from rational conduct. - Baltacar Gracian
