Philosophical Weakness Reason

More From Jean-Paul Sartre

Love never dies a natural death. it dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. it dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. it dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

The only sovereign i can allow to rule me is reason. the first law of reason is this: what exists exists; what is is. from this irreducible, bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. this is the foundation from which life is embraced. reason is a choice. wishes and whims are not facts, nor are they a means to discovering them. reason is our only way of grasping reality–it is our basic tool of survival. we are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss we refuse to see." -richard
Mean Reality Thinking
But if the strength ain't real, i recall thinking the very last thing that day, before i finally passed out, then the weakness sure enough is. weakness is true and real. i used to accuse the kid of faking his weakness. but faking proves the weakness is real. or you wouldn't be so weak as to fake it. no, you can't ever fake being weak. you can only fake being strong. . .

We should not be discouraged or depressed by our shortcomings. no one is without weakness. as part of the divine plan, we are tested to see whether we master weakness or let weakness master us. proper diagnosis is essential to proper treatment. the lord gave us this remarkable assurance: "because thou hast seen thy weakness thou shalt be made strong" (ether 12:37). but wishing for strength won't make us strong. it takes faith and work to shore up a weakened cord of integrity.
Strong Integrity Wish
Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. in every now, being begins; round every here rolls the sphere there. the center is everywhere. bent is the path of eternity.

Beauty plus pity-that is the closest we can get to a definition of art. where there is beauty there is pity for the simple reason that beauty must die: beauty always dies, the manner dies with the matter, the world dies with the individual.

Similar Quotes
We have so many ideas and beliefs about ourselves. we told ourselves story about what we want and who we are, smart or kind. often these are the unexamined and limited ideas of others that we have internalized and then gone on to life out.
Smart Ideas Gone
Once you abstract from this, once you generalize and postulate universals, you have departed from the creative reality, and entered the realm of static fixity, mechanism, materialism.

My paintings are certainly nonobjective. they're just horizontal lines. there's not any hint of nature. and still everybody responds, i think.
