Most of the time, I feel that we are cursed, but it is actually a blessing to be born in this era and witness all these wonders.

Invitation à la contemplation…

[lazyyogi]

The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.

Contemplation not only enlarges the objects of our thoughts, but also the objects of our actions and our affections: it makes us citizens of the universe, not only of one walled city at war with the rest. In this citizenship of the universe consists man's true freedom, and his liberation from the thralldom of narrow hopes and fears.

Bertrand Russell, The Problems of Philosophy
