I know some people who try so hard to be unhappy, they nearly succeed!

I read a book a few months ago, written by Primo Levi, a Holocaust survivor. The book is called "If this is a man".
From this book, I memorized a passage. It is by far the wisest words I have heard in years...
Sooner or later in life everyone discovers that perfect happiness is unrealizable, but there are few who pause to consider the antithesis: that perfect unhappiness is equally unattainable. The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: They derive from our humon condition which is opposed to everything infinite. Our ever-insufficient knowledge of the future opposes it.
Just thought I'd share. |
