I Like a Good Quote

This quote pretty much exemplifies what people within most of society now subscribe to. So many people don’t give a crap anymore. They stand down, glued to a cell phone, lost within an existence. Emptying their soul with irrelevant things, fearing substance and truth.

Most people don’t live with purpose anymore, they reject anything which requires effort, character and virtue. They stand for nothing but cliches, lies and the massaging of their own ego.

God help those who have been bullied into submission, afraid to act, whose very speech and thoughts have been stifled and lost forever within a black hole. A dystopian society which now exists only to promote a cult-like behavior of group “thought.”

“depth and substance.
the two most exquisite qualities.
be it in a poem
or a person.” -Sanober Khan-

“Man's main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life. That is why man is ever ready to suffer, on the condition, to be sure, that his suffering has a meaning.”
-Viktor E. Frankl-

“Certainly we can say that the pace of modern life, increased and supported by our technology in general and our personal electronics in particular, has resulted in a short attention span and an addiction to the influx of information. A mind so conditioned has little opportunity to think critically, and even less chance to experience life deeply by being in the present moment. A complex life with complicated activities, relationships and commitments implies a reflexive busy-ness that supplants true thinking and feeling with knee-jerk reactions. It is a life high in stress and light on substance, at least in the spiritually meaningful dimensions of being.”
-Arthur Rosenfeld-

“Expression that comes from the deepest, darkest place that most of us would rather hide from the rest of the world is the substance that will most likely also deeply affect others.” -Ken Poirot-

“The human ego is the ugliest part of man. We lift up men who only show us darkness, and put down those brave enough to show us the light. Likewise, people engage in darkness when it is light outside, and acknowledge the light only when it is dark. We abandon those fighting for us to cheer behind those fighting against us. And, we only remember good people and God when it is convenient for us, and take them for granted because their doors are always open - only to chase after closed doors and personalities void of substance and truth.” -Suzy Kassem-
