Responsibility Reality Important

More From Umberto Eco

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.
Disappointment Attitude Responsibility
The main thing that i learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. the truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. the truth is that it is not the iluminati, or the jewish banking conspiracy, or the gray alien theory. the truth is far more frightening - nobody is in control. the world is rudderless.

The believer's cross is no longer any and every kind of suffering, sickness, or tension, the bearing of which is demanded. the believer's cross must be, like his lord's, the price of his social nonconformity. it is not, like sickness or catastrophe, an inexplicable, unpredictable suffering; it is the end of the path freely chosen after counting the cost. it is not, like luther's or thomas muntzer's or zinzendorf's or kierkegaard's cross, an inward wrestling of the sensitive soul with self and sin; it is the social reality of representing in an unwilling world the order to come.

I won't be a party to a conspiracy to mobilize the arabs against the persians. only the forces of colonialism benefit from such a conspiracy. i won't be a party to a conspiracy that splits islam into two - shiite islam and sunni islam - mobilizing sunni islam against shiite islam.

Were i disposed to consider the comparative merit of each of them [facts or theories in medical practice], i should derive most of the evils of medicine from supposed facts, and ascribe all the remedies which have been uniformly and extensively useful, to such theories as are true. facts are combined and rendered useful only by means of theories, and the more disposed men are to reason, the more minute and extensive they become in their observations

If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

Sunlight is one and the same wherever it falls; but only a bright surface like that of water, or of a mirror reflects it fully. so is the light divine. it falls equally and impartially on all hearts, but the pure and pious hearts of holy men receive and reflect that light well.

Personally, i think that children should be left alone, they should be given an opportunity to grow up, to become aware of themselves and decide themselves who they are: men or women, if they want to have a traditional or homosexual marriage.

So many things were testing his faith. there was the bible, of course, but the bible was a book, and so were bleak house, treasure island, ethan frome and the last of the mohicans. did it then seem probable, as he had once overheard dunbar ask, that the answers to riddles of creation would be supplied by people too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall? had almighty god, in all his infinite wisdom, really been afraid that men six thousand years ago would succeed in building a tower to heaven?
