Absurd

Then we will understand that infinity was somewhere in our breath and that our Destiny is nothing else that the echo of an Accidental Occurrence that happened an eternity before us, and this echo is us, our sacred selves that only this way will recognize themselves. And finally we will become aware that we know without wanting it or without knowing what we know, which we today we find impossible. Then it will be impossible to know without knowing what you know, to understand without understanding what you understand, to hope without hoping in what you hope and, finally, receive the divinity lost or taken away by those who wanted to know by knowing what they want to know, to see by understanding what they wanted to see, to understand by understanding the meaning. Where did that lead them to absurd Searching for a meaning in this world is just like knowing a non-sense or a non-knowledge.

By opposing the human in the man and thus activating the inhuman does nothing else than dehumanize that man by further alienating him from his self and along with it, as man is a social individual, to create a society increasingly absurd, selfish and unfair to the human being that will be exiled to the ideological suburbs of such a society, suburbs that will give evidence of a radicalization of the feelings that are contrary to the manaas sacred self, and the centre will represent an elitist society that will lead to a equally great self alienation of the human beings that form it, but based on the idea that they are some kind of gods, forgetting that Gods are those who indirectly entailed the original Sin, that man has donated his Sacred Self to the gods that were responsive to the elite of that society when the unfavourable turn in the Destiny of mankind, that of losing manaas control over the sacred self and eventually donate it to the gods in exchange of help. Man donated his sacred self to the social elite of that such unfavourable time for mankind when the original sin was born. This is why, for me, Nietzsche is an up-side down philosopher having through the great merit of advocating that the human being does not really have a will.

- Alexander Hamilton Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.

- Niels Bohr Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

Brutes find out where their talents lie A bear will not attempt to fly, A foundered horse will oft debate Before he tries a five barred gate. A dog by instinct turns aside Who sees the ditch too deep and wide, But man we find the only creature Who, led by folly, combats nature Who, when she loudly criesForbear With obstinacy fixes there And where the genius least inclines, Absurdly bends his whole designs.

- Alan Levine Visit FamousQuotes.com for more inspirational quotes

Only this way the human life will escape its own burden, its own image, its own Destiny, the vanity, the deceit and the absurd, the strange coldness of this world, finally choosing the complete peace of the Nirvana it was looking throughout its historical evolution, a strange and absurd Nirvana itself in reference to the increasingly humble and insignificant being compared to it, to the stranger that replaces more often self and more inhumanly, that mocks her creating it a society increasingly petty and absurd. Is suicide the saving solution of the mankind Is it not any other way through which man would chase away the alien within him, the absurd and the anxiety so that he can find his Sacred Self that was stolen so many millennia ago What other way could there be except suicide
