what we call eternity

Brooke 2022-04-21 09:01:31

We have been constantly pursuing a kind of eternity that belongs to ourselves. Maybe we have seen it in the process, but we always go to a place farther than it, then lose ourselves, fall into the swamp, and finally flee in embarrassment.
In fact, eternity is not a kind of extension, but a kind of diffuse stay. We often misunderstand and think that it is a long enough other shore that we need to work hard to reach, but in many realistic situations, we can finally understand The reason for the smile is almost always because we are struggling to move forward in a pathological way. The finale is not a perfect ending. We recall some things, some things that we have seen in the process but have been ignored by ourselves. In fact, that is eternity.
The world is in balance, and moving beyond that balance creates another kind of relative negativity.
Carl Jung said a sentence, which is also quoted by Murakami in "1Q84".
"Shadows are evil beings, just as we humans are positive beings. The more we strive to be good, good, and perfect, the more clearly the shadows manifest a dark, evil, destructive will. When one tries to transcend When the capacity of oneself becomes perfect, the shadow goes to hell and becomes the devil. Because in this natural world, it is as sinful for man to intend to become higher than himself, as to intend to become lower than himself.”

The Beach quotes

  • Etienne: Oh fuck! Richard! Fuck!

    Richard: What?

    Etienne: I saw a fin!

    Richard: What? Are you joking?

    Etienne: No, no. A fin!

    Richard: OK, a shark fin?

    Etienne: I don't know! Just a fin! Over there, about a hundred meters.

    Richard: Well, was it big?

    Etienne: Yes.

    Richard: Well, what the fuck do you expect me to do about it?

    Etienne: Nothing! I just thought you should know!

    Richard: Well, to be honest, Etienne, I'd rather you hadn't told me!

    Etienne: I'm sorry!

    Richard: Well, it's a bit fuckin' late now, isn't it?

  • Keaty: [Keaty interrupts Richard whilst watching Francoise and pretending to read his book] One: she's just teasin' ya.

    Richard: What are you talking about?

    Keaty: Two: you don't speak French. Three: he speaks French. In fact, even better than that, four: he IS French. Five: he's much better at football - sorry, sorry, SOCCER - than you. And six: you're a bit strange, Rich. Some girls like that in a man, but not usually the sort of girls you wanna be with.

    Richard: Is that right?

    Keaty: Come on, your last girlfriend chucked ya, there must've been a reason.

    Richard: It was not my fault!

    Keaty: And seven: look at - look at your thumbs, man! They're well defined!

    Richard: Wh-what is that supposed to mean?

    Keaty: You play a lot of video games! That is a powerful index of incompatabilty.

    Richard: Why do I get the feeling like you're trying to tell me something?

    Keaty: You haven't a hope mate - not a bleedin' chicken's chance in Thailand. Know what I mean?

    Richard: Thank you.

    Keaty: So, enjoy the beach and cut the bullshit.

    Richard: [softly] Thank you very much.

    Keaty: It's my pleasure.
