“A person is bound to experience troubling doubts when attempting to forge a viable philosophy for living. When we are young, the world appears as a dream, no desire is unattainable, and no goal is impossible. We do not entertain the notion that the world will blunt our passionate aspirations, we assume that the world will yield to our resolute will. Misfortune, poverty, illness, and death crush a person’s hopes, awakening us to parts of oneself and the world that we previously denied. When fate has spoken harshly we initially feel ruined, life appears as a bleak wasteland. We must then chose to accept a misery ridden existence or rally the courage and fortitude to turn our thoughts from bitterness and regrets, surrender vain notions that we are somehow special and immune from the terrors of a life when reality does not care a wit for our survival.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Courage lightens distress, hope alleviates grief, doubt aggravates affliction, fear worsens anguish, worry magnifies misery, and faith overthrows despair.”

“the night was beginning
and i was standing before the
plate glass window of a
restaurant
and in that window
was a roasted pig,
eyeless,
with an apple in its mouth.
poort damned pig.
poor damned me.
beyond the pig
inside there
were people
sitting at tables
talking, eating, drinking
i was not one of those people
i felt a kinship with the pig
we had been caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time
i imagined myself in the window
eyeless, roasted, the apple in my mouth
�
i walked away from the window
i walked to my room
i still had a room
as i walked to my room
i began to conjecture:
could i eat some paper?
some newspaper?
roaches?
maybe i could catch a rat?
a raw rat?
peel off the fur,
remove the intestines
remove the eyes
forego the head, the tail
�
i walked along.
i was so hungry that everything
looked eatable:
people, fireplugs, asphalt,
wristwatches � my belt, my shirt
�
i sat in a chair
i din’t turn on the light
i sat there and wondered if i was crazy
because i wasn’t doing anything
to help myself

the hunger stopped then
and i just sat there
then i heard it:
two people in the next room
copulating.
i could hear the bed spring
and the moans
i got up, walked out of the
room and back into the street.
but i walked in a different
direction this time
i walked away from the pig
in the window
but i thought about the pig
and i decided that i’d die first
rather than eat that
pig.
it began to rain
i looked up.
i opened my mouth and let in the rain
dropsâ€� soup from the sky...”

“Money is a neutral thing. It means that it can be the main source of your miseries or your happiness. In the wrong hands, it is only harmful, but beneficial in the right hands.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

“Some people claim that expectation is the source of all misery, while others claim that attachment is the root cause.”

“Being unhappy and miserable is your choice. The mentality is destructive, and consenting to staying stuck in that state of mind is a blueprint for disaster.”
― Germany Kent

“In this world, there is only one happiness and that is to be yourself. And because nobody is himself, everybody is trying somehow to hide, with masks, with pretensions and with hypocrisy.  They are being taught everything in the education system, but they are not taught to be themselves. 
This is what makes everybody miserable. To be what you do not want to be, to do something that you do not want to do. These things are the basis of all misery. Sooner or later, you have to decide. You have to
say: Whatever the cost, I want to be myself. Condemned, ridiculed, losing respectability, everything is ok, but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else. This decision and declaration of freedom, freedom from
the weight of the crowd of people, gives back your natural being. Then you can simply be yourself just as you are.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Call of the Heart 

“When I take my eyes off the goal, I can only see the obstacles”
― Dr.Purushothaman Kollam

“No matter how beautiful, artistic and aesthetic a dining table is, you can never make a hungry man sitting at that table to forget the food! In countries where misery reigns, the magnificent shows that stupid politicians shamelessly put on before the people are of no importance!”
