Difference
There’s a difference between solitude and loneliness.
Unfair
There’s something inherently unfair about death, and with our cognizance about its inevitability.
Stronger
Whatever doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger… — F. Nietzche
…Unless it cripples you for life.
Radical
Radical ideas never succeed. At first.
Original
It’s hard to be an original, with eight billion people around.
Good idea!
A loyal British subject/citizen once asked Gandhi what he thought of Western Civilization, and Gandhi supposedly replied: “I think it would be a good idea!”
Stupidity
Stupidity is like an accent: always noticed in others, but rarely in yourself.
Definition of Stupidity
Repeating the same thing, over and over, and expecting a different result.
Collateral damage
The poor are collateral damage of the rich.
Infinity
There’s no beginning, there’s no end. All that exists is infinite transformation.
Misanthrope
As I’m getting older, I’m becoming less and less of an altruist, and more and more of a misanthrope!!
God
God, if exists, is a big misanthrope.
Astronomy
Astronomy? Too much Photoshop, very few actual facts.
Democracy
Every dictatorship thinks of itself as a democracy. The greater dictatorship, it tries harder to present itself as a democracy.
Universe
The Universe is so vast… It cannot be just for decoration.
Dentures
It is not a problem to put on dentures, but — to wear them.
Message
Dear humans, you’ve got it all wrong! — ET’s first words, when they finally meet us
Hyenas
It doesn’t pay to be a lion, if surrounded by hyenas.
Epitaph
My tombstone should read: One less…
Wisdom
The greatest wisdom: to accept life as it is, without grumbling.
Evil
All evil in the World comes from people. Once we figure that out, we might be able to fix some things.
Crying
People don’t cry because they are weak, but because they have been strong for too long.
Suffering
All that exists is suffering. Suffering is omnipresent and all-encompassing, pervasive, physical and, even more so, spiritual, which, with the passage of time, grows more and more.
Stars
Stars are dying, too…
