“A person’s master is someone who has power over what he wants or does not want, either to obtain it or take it away. Whoever wants to be free, therefore, let him not want or avoid anything that is up to others. Otherwise he will necessarily be a slave.” (Epictetus; Classics, 306)

Every thing that we have that we are, is just illusion, nothing is real. why be so damn serious about all this unreal things? Why even love someone so much, when you know s/he is going to die anyway? it does not make any sense to me, what so ever.

-You are described by the rule... yet you describe the rule.

-As rules are removed, one becomes closer to 'ultimate understanding'. And that is a point you DONT want to reach - it proves to be a pyramid without a top.... or..?

-And meaning IS the story, right?

i mean i know what 2007 means, but when did the earth begin. was it billions or trillions of years ago. how could anybody know for sure? isn't it crazy how our whole time system is based on a story in a book. i don't mean to offend anyone, but it's quiet interesting.
