Wounds heal. Scars fade. Awful memories can be overwritten with better ones if given the chance. The little imperfections of our psyches become overshadowed by the people whose love we cherish because they cherish us despite our faults; physical, emotional, spiritual, or otherwise. This thing we call the human condition with all its bittersweet blind corners and senseless humor evolves from within ourselves and not because of some pre-ordained reverie we desire to cast in the constellations. All in all it is what makes life worth living. ↗

Every single person is vulnerable to unexpected defeat in this inmost emotional self. At every moment, behind the most efficient seeming adult exterior, the whole world of the person's childhood is being carefully held like a glass of water bulging above the brim. And in fact, that child is the only real thing in them. It's their humanity, their real individuality, the one that can't understand why it was born and that knows it will have to die, in no matter how crowded a place, quite on its own. That's the carrier of all the living qualities. It's the centre of all the possible magic and revelation. ↗

By the time we began to understand enough about what the world to ask the right questions, our visit is over, and someone else is visiting, asking the same questions. ↗

It's sad when the people you love most become a bitter memory. ↗

Tại sao? Tại sao khi nhìn lại quá khứ thì những gì đẹp đẽ của chúng ta lại rạn nứt bởi sự thật xấu xa tiềm ẩn trong đó? Tại sao hồi ức về những năm tháng hôn nhân nhuốm cay đắng khi lộ ra rằng người kia chừng ấy năm có một người tình? Vì người ta không thể hạnh phúc trong tình cảnh đó được? Song người ta đã hạnh phúc cơ mà? Có lúc hồi ức không trung thành với hạnh phúc, nếu kết cục diễn ra đau đớn. Vì hạnh phúc chỉ đúng thật nếu nó vĩnh viễn tồn tại? Vì chỉ cái gì đã từng đau đớn, cho dù không ý thức và không nhận ra, mới kết thúc đau đớn? Nhưng thế nào là nỗi đau không ý thức và không nhận ra? ↗

I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect. ↗
