“There are things in this world that have no explanation. When you come across these things, you have two options. Option one is to try to make things make sense. This is what most people do. They experience something and they try to mold the event to their experiences, to understand what happened using the filter of what they already know. This never works. It only leads to confusion and frustration, yes? The second option is to accept that strange things happen, that the impossible sometimes is real. When you accept it, you can move on with your life. Our ancestors invented gods for this reason and they were happier because of it.” PhilosophyBeliefMysteryHuman NatureAcceptancePerspectiveMythologyExistentialCoping MechanismsUnexplained Phenomena Book:The Devil Takes You Home Source: The Devil Takes You Home
“I don't know what makes us want to keep on living, what makes us desperately hold on to anything that will allow us to remain on this earth just a little longer despite the pain that comes with it, but I do know that, whatever it is, selfishness resides at its core; selfishness is its black, dangerous heart.” PhilosophyPainDarknessHuman NatureSurvivalLife And DeathExistentialIntrospectiveEmotional StruggleRaw Honesty Book:The Devil Takes You Home Source: The Devil Takes You Home
