“Our situation on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here involuntarily and uninvited for a short stay, without knowing the whys and the wherefore. In our daily lives we only feel that man is here for the sake of others, for those whom we love and for many other beings whose fate is connected with our own. I am often worried at the thought that my life is based to such a large extent on the work of my fellow human beings and I am aware of my great indebtedness to them.” MenFeelsHumansSeemsEarthLife IsHuman BeingsSituationKnowingFateStrangeFellowsSakeConnectedWorriedDaily LifeUninvitedIndebtedness Author:Albert Einstein
“Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market. He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange. Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.p97.” MenShouldMovingEnergyGoalSituationPrinciplesModernPositionPersonalitySkillsHighestFairsAimFellowsInvestmentProfitSatisfactionTransformedConsideringCommodityFellow ManPackagesProfitableModern ManArt Of Loving Book:THE ART OF LOVING Source: THE ART OF LOVING
“You love the accidental. A smile from a pretty girl in an interesting situation, a stolen glance, that is what you are hunting for, that is a motif for your aimless fantasy. You who always pride yourself on being an observateur must, in return, put up with becoming an object of observation. Ah, you are a strange fellow, one moment a child, the next an old man; one moment you are thinking most earnestly about the most important scholarly problems, how you will devote your life to them, and the next you are a lovesick fool. But you are a long way from marriage.” ThinkingMenWayChildrenLongImportantMomentsProblemGirlNextInterestingSituationFantasyObjectsStrangePrideFoolReturnBecomingFellowsObservationOld ManHuntingGlancesStolenLong WayPretty GirlScholarlyMotifsInteresting Situations Author:Soren Kierkegaard
“I do not believe in free will. Schopenhauer's words: 'Man can do what he wants, but he cannot will what he wills,' accompany me in all situations throughout my life and reconcile me with the actions of others, even if they are rather painful to me. This awareness of the lack of free will keeps me from taking myself and my fellow men too seriously as acting and deciding individuals, and from losing my temper.” IfsMenWantBelieveActionIndividualCan DoActingSituationAwarenessLosingFellowsPainfulFree WillTemperFellow ManReconcileAccompany Author:Albert Einstein
“... In contrast to the "banality of evil," which posits that ordinary people can be responsible for the most despicable acts of cruelty and degradation of their fellows, I posit the "banality of heroism," which unfurls the banner of the heroic Everyman and Everywoman who heed the call to service to humanity when their time comes to act. When that bell rings, they will know that it rings for them. It sounds a call to uphold what is best in human nature that rises above the powerful pressures of Situation and System as the profound assertion of human dignity opposing evil.” PeopleKnowsHumansHumanityEvilSoundPowerfulSituationHuman NatureHeroOrdinaryDignityPressureResponsibleFellowsProfoundRingsCrueltyHeroicContrastBellsHeroismOrdinary PeopleRise AboveAssertionOpposingHeedDegradationBeing ResponsibleHuman DignityBannerDespicableService To HumanityBanalityEveryman Author:Philip Zimbardo
