後天的方向

人類，雖然活在當下，卻無法體會當下是什麼感覺。
我們所看到的，碰觸的，從那一瞬間起就成了過去。
想看見，想碰觸的這種行為，是對自己未知的未來的干涉。
未來是不可知的，雖然充滿可能性，卻無法隨心所欲。
過去是既成事實的，是自己累積而成的，無法消除改變。
但是，當我們要決定前進的方向時，當下就確實存在於自己的腳下。

Quotations of Margaret Thatcher

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.

If you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

Quotations of Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
German philosopher

The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.

To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.

You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
~"On Reading and Writing"

The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.

The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.

A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.

For men are not equal: thus speaks justice.

Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man's?

Napoleon quotations

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

History is a set of lies agreed upon.

Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your tricks of war.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

Picked from 死亡預告

不論是誰，在活著的時候都會思考到關於死亡的問題。
為什麼呢？因為死亡正是對生物來說最大的恐懼。
即使智者教導我們死亡是永遠的安寧或通往平靜的入口，但要消除對死亡的恐懼，本能上還是做不到。
即使別人再怎麼說，那都是「還活著的人」的想法。
所以，即使你在我這裡尋求什麼東西，很遺憾的，我也無法幫你消除恐懼。

不過，你可以這樣詢問你自己嗎？
你抱著什麼願望活到今天......又想要抱著什麼樣的願望繼續活下去呢－

你可以稍稍發揮想像力嗎？

即使在自己的存在消滅之後，你的願望今後還能由某人繼承下去繼續存在...
這個人為了實現這個願望，努力活著的模樣－
然後因為這個願望，現在還看不到的未來，稍稍被導向正確的方向－
如果，你可以想像的到的話...
從那一瞬間開始，你就能永遠活著。

與其因為恐懼死亡而害怕，不如想想你的願望是什麼，有誰能繼承下去...
你可以重新思考看看嗎？
畢竟你還有足夠的時間啊！
