"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things." -Henry David Thoreau

I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all frighten people and secondly, demoralize them. –Terry Benn

Sometimes it feels like there has been entirely too much sobriety in my life.

My dreams have been replaced by the constant pursuit of the dollar. Society has succeeded in beating me down and erasing my soul. I am blank. I am an automaton. A cog in the wheel. I live for the sole purpose of moving money from one hand to the other.

Agony is needing to win the lottery and not being able to afford the ticket.

The problem with porn is that you can see too much.

(n.b. I’m quite pleased at the numerous insertions of double entendres in this post.)

When you get to the end of your days, you should be able to look back and say, "That was a fun ride!"

Have you ever felt despair? September 28, 2014 10:55 am

So I’m feeling a little down. Well, a lot down. Something uplifting for me is reading. So, I’m reading the Dresden Files. Jim Butcher’s first book in the series is Storm Front. I open to chapter 18 and read:

Have you ever felt despair? Absolute hopelessness? Have you ever stood in the darkness and known, deep in your heart, in your spirit, that it was never, ever going to get better?…

[Source, Storm Front (Dresden Files), Chapter 18]
