The pleasure in this world it has been said outweighs the pain or at any rate there is an even balance between the two; if the reader wishes shortly whether this statement is true, let him compare the respective feelings of two animals one of which is engage in eatin the other.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be Sorawo, living with those powers and those horrible memories. She never shows it, but I know she's got to be in so much pain.
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Zamanla yerleşir yaşadıkların, yeniden konumlanır, çoğalır anlamları, önemi kavranır. Bir zamanlar anlamadan yaşadığın şey, çok sonradan değerini kazanır. Yokluğu derin ve sürekli bir sızı halini alır. Oysa yapacak hiçbir şey kalmamıştır artık
Mutluluk geçip gitmiştir yanınızdan Herşeye iyi gelen Zaman sizi kanatır..
"human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice"
Beloved author, C. S. Lewis addresses a similar concept when he spoke to students at Oxford in October of 1939-less than 2 months after the outbreak of World War II. In his address, he begins by asking how it will be possible for life to continue as usual, "when the lives of our friends and the liberties of Europe are in the balance?" He answers: "The war creates no absolutely new situation: it simply aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it. Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice."
Lewis continues:
"War threatens us with death and pain. No man-and especially no Christian who remembers Gethsemane-need try to attain a stoic indifference about these things: but we can guard against the illusions of the imagination. What does war do to death? It certainly does not make it more frequent; 100 percent of us die, and the percentage cannot be increased... War makes death real to us: and that would have been regarded as one of its blessings by most of the great Christians of the past. They thought it good for us to be always aware of our mortality. I am inclined to think they were right. All the animal life in us, all schemes of happiness that centered in this world, were always doomed to a final frustration. In ordinary times only a wise man can realize it. Now the stupidest of us know. We see unmistakably the sort of universe in which we have all along been living, and must come to terms with it."

ne gece ama
I'm fresh out of fake smiles. Right now I'm nothing but pain and exhaustion and raw emotion, and I don't have the bandwidth for another serious conversation. I really don't want to do this right now.
