"Grief changes shape, but it never ends"
~~~ Keanu Reeves ~~~






.

No offense against Keanu Reaves, but he's neither a great Actor nor a great philosopher.

Even if I said the cleverest thing ever no one would acknowledge it, let alone remember it, which is no one's fault not even the Romans, but it is pertinent. Keanu Reaves though has said something very stupid which you have quoted.

Grief ends when you forgo self doubt, you accept yourself, or you just feel that you have done enough. It swells only when you do the opposite. It does end though, some people are happy, content and of accord with all their faults, if not condoning them.

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
~ C. S. Lewis ~

Have you ever had a thought of your own Bill, I must ask because you seem too reliant on other things to tell you how to think. so if you ever had a thought in your head state it, instead of stating out of context shit like some zombie.

Now why did C.S Lewis say that? Do you even know or even care?

Here's a heads up he was talking about loss of someone, someone who died, someone he must therefore never get over his grief for. You are talking about the loss of reason each time you post something out of context. We weep for the people who die, we weep more for people who are still alive, but refuse to think, and hence are merely shambling along posting quotes other people said, and pictures other people thought and for reasons they never intended. No offense Bob, but do please learn how to think for yourself at some point. It really could not hurt.

None of us have an original thought.


All of our thoughts are reflections of what we have already been told.


The fact that you don't realize this reflects the miasma that you live within.






“Whether you sniff it smoke it eat it or shove it up your ass the result is the same: addiction.” ― William S. Burroughs

Well you certainly prove that every time you post. A unique child of a dull mind.

Bob you're a dull blade in a sharp world.

1) get over yourself

2) get on with your life

3) without being told how to think by memes.

I see your rock and it is much bigger than you, at some point stop pushing it.

Only a stupid yank would 'quote' Keanu Reeves. Most 'quotes' aren't even quotes, especially when made by idiotic yank celebrities. I saw a particularly 'brilliant' one. 'I don't believe in anything'-- Angelina Jolie. WTF? That's just a statement, NOT a quotable flash of insight! 'I don't believe in God'-- Bruce Willis. Earth-shattering.

Again, just a statement. Millions have said exactly the same thing.

I guess that's not the kind of grief that you have.
