Essentially Good

As long as one does not believe that he is good, he cannot believe that another is good. Only a person that believes that his own essence is good, and accustoms himself to give and not take (thereby removing the veil of the “I”) will be able to expand the light outward toward another. A person who has worked on himself to see himself as good, but still has a habit of taking and not giving, will find a barrier created by his desire to take. Such a person might think of himself as good, with a bad garment, but of another individual as inherently bad. Why? Because he has set up a barrier between himself and another. His desire to take makes him a distinct entity, so although he knows that he is good with an evil garment, he will not be able to apply that attitude toward others. The desire to take is a barrier, and he wants to keep the goodness for himself. His eye will be like that of Bilaam, “an evil eye”. Only if he has also developed a desire to give can he expand the good found in him to another, and by doing so, he will see the entire creation as good. This expansion of goodness to the whole world will bring out in him the world of inner, true love that unifies all of the creations.

“This berry represents five or six kilocalories — sugars, dietary fiber, Vitamin C. Its place here is commensurate with these values. Now, strawberries. They’re susceptible to soil fungi, nematodes. So are we, actually. You, me, everyone on this train. So we don’t let these proliferate either. Everything here survives at the mercy of his Balance. And the truth is you need Wilford’s strawberries more than he needs you.”

“I thought I could create a kinder, gentler world. But the train demanded otherwise. The train demanded blood. I fed her and now they will. Until we reach our final destination, everyone the same in pain and doubt. Holding our losses close on Snowpiercer, one thousand and one cars long.”

“People seem to think that those in power answer to no one. They’re free to do as they choose. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Person in power answers to everyone. I make choices. Not because I want to but because everyone demands it. The train demands it.” Melanie Cavill in the Snowpiercer 

“There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens” TROKTSY

Man

Without fraternity there are no men but containers of guts and a people made of containers does not exist, it is not people. Man is made up of fraternity, when we say man we only say fraternity. And a man – or people – who place themselves at the center of life, saying ‘I’, with strong slaps on the chest, are degraded apes (while the monkey is not).
(…) I write these things out of order. It is that my character is bad, it is not good, it is not tender, and immediately, when I meet presumption and cowardice that enter the territory of innocence and weakness as masters, I would like to take up arms, I would like to take a scimitar, and drop it of infected heads. But I would turn into one of them, and then the desire is gone.

Anna Maria Ortese, The Little People

I don’t have time now

” I counted my years and discovered that I have less time to live going forward than I have lived until now.
I have more past than future. I feel like the boy who received a bowl of candies. The first ones, he ate ungracious, but when he realized there were only a few left, he began to taste them deeply. I do not have time to deal with mediocrity. I do not want to be in meetings where parade inflamed egos.

I am bothered by the envious, who seek to discredit the most able, to usurp their places, coveting their seats, talent, achievements and luck.

I do not have time for endless conversations, useless to discuss about the lives of others who are not part of mine. I do not have time to manage sensitivities of people who despite their chronological age, are immature.

I cannot stand the result that generates from those struggling for power. People do not discuss content, only the labels. My time has become scarce to discuss labels, I want the essence, my soul is in a hurry…

Not many candies in the bowl… I want to live close to human people, very human, who laugh of their own stumbles, and away from those turned smug and overconfident with their triumphs, away from those filled with self-importance, Who does not run away from their responsibilities ..Who defends human dignity. And who only want to walk on the side of truth and honesty.

The essential is what makes life worthwhile. I want to surround myself with people, who knows how to touch the hearts of people …. People to whom the hard knocks of life, taught them to grow with softness in their soul.

Yes …. I am in a hurry … to live with intensity, that only maturity can bring.
I intend not to waste any part of the goodies I have left … I’m sure they will be more exquisite, that most of which so far I’ve eaten.

My goal is to arrive to the end satisfied and in peace with my loved ones and my conscience.
I hope that your goal is the same, because either way you will get there too .. “
