Hope

Hope is miraculously dangerous, since the still unfulfilled possibility can seem so real to the imagination that it spurs inactivity.

Choice is Tiresome

"Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilisation, and at present very few people have reached this level."

Bertrand Russell

why

is the human heart so frequently exalted for its strength and will to overcome
is actually so readily broken
so readily swayed
so weak

why

does being human have to be so hard
and yet so simple
all at once

what

is the secret to true living
should i exist
am i not alive

how

do you grasp the emotion of love
i love you
or not

how would i know
how would you know

? (:

i love them still, though,

i am surrounded at times by
friends who make me feel alone.
