The World Breaks Everyone
.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms, 1929
Philosophy is not what you do, it's who you are.

Re: The World Breaks Everyone
Bill, please stop spamming this site and creating topics for every quote that strikes your fancy. This is not a public billboard for your brain. Seriously, do you have any self-control at all? You don't have to post everything on the wall like a child. It's not even your own words.

Now yeah, sure, the world is suffering and eventually swallows us all. So bloody what? That's what it is, and Hemingway gave into it, blowing his snoot off. Nothing new. So, you have any suggestions, or are you just vomiting quotes of existential fear? Your fear.
Shit, talking to you is talking to a brick wall. You know why? Because I know I'll get a feeble, expected response, no matter what I say to you, and you'll continue on your merry way like you've read nothing from it. And that's why Arising calls you on it every time; because he sees it too.
Snap out of it Bill. You're gonna die no matter, so live your life now, and stop dwelling on the shit. It may be true, but it's a fucking repetitive bummer for the rest of us. Even to this antinatalist.

Appreciate the robust responses. Excellent points were made.
Hoping to scratch below the surface if we could...Have YOU been broken yet?
Or have you been able to walk between the raindrops?
As I reflected upon this powerful, philosophical quote...I look at friends, family, and some famous individuals & note points in their life where it was ended or broken prior to ending.
The world is relentless. The world does break individuals.
EXCELLENT thread.

Why were you expecting something new?Dalek Prime wrote: Actually, it gets in the eyes. Nothing new here.
Nothing new under the sun. It is disconcerting to see educated people act as if there is something new under the sun.
''The Aristotelians (and Renaissance writers) had the idea of the sublunary sphere, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub... where everything was subject to birth, death, disease, destruction, constant change which forced it back into its constituent elements; and the superlunary sphere where nothing changed. God inhabited the latter.''
