For Future Use

Mortals are immortals and immortals are mortals, the one living the other's death and dying the other's life.
-Heraclitus

The following posts will be catching up,
things have been busy,
I never write at home,
but I've brought things back from outside.

References

“It is natural
to give a clear view of the world
after accepting the idea
that it must be clear.”
-Albert Camus

“The great enemy of the truth
is very often not the lie –
deliberate, contrived & dishonest,
but the myth,
persistent, persuasive, & unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion
without the discomfort of thought.”
-John F. Kennedy

“If a man is offered a fact
which goes against his instincts,
he will scrutinize it closely,
and unless the evidence is overwhelming,
he will refuse to believe it.
If, on the other hand,
he is offered something
which affords a reason
for acting in accordance
to his instincts,
he will accept it
even on the slightest evidence.
The origin of myths
is explained in this way.”
- Bertrand Russell
