I longed so
intensely to have been born in a different reality that I eventually forgot I
even had such a desire, because it ceased to be a mere feeling and became the
core of my identity.

The name of the

Closed and
isolationist regimes are the only sane places left in the world, because they
are not part of the global madness.

If the love
between two people wants to make itself real, it must be willing to endure
lovelessness from everyone else.

People are
running from their thoughts, while I have drowned myself in mine. Every passing
second I am certainly thinking of something. It never stops. And I’m not even
complaining about it; it is not restlessness but rest that feels like death.
Because I know this: if I stay still where I am, some betrayal inside me, one
that perhaps never forgave me, will come and catch me, and thus this old friend
from whom I’ve been fleeing, whose face I can no longer recognize, will
overthrow the person I’ve become.

My feelings
didn’t die; they simply grew too heavy to hand to another human, so I carried
them alone. Over time, the carrying hardened into a personality. It’s like a
machine on a factory line with an obstacle placed in its path. The machine
keeps running, unaware, and everything it produces stacks up against that
blockage. That’s how my feelings live inside me. They are as young as a starved
baby or child from being denied, yet impossibly old and ancient from having that
denial as their default. Now the real difficulty isn’t the obstacle itself, but
the thought of removing it, because doing so would release the whole
accumulated mass at once.

A person who
masturbates or has sexual intercourse realizes over time that the pleasure it
brings turns into a habit. Thus, they begin to dream up new fantasies. They
turn to new methods. In this way, their sexual world expands more and more,
purely for this reason. Because they have become a slave to sexuality, which is
an insatiable devourer. What they are actually doing is like trying to fill a
chasm by pouring sand into it. I have always felt this way: the modern world
fuels sexuality, and because it is built on pleasure—perhaps only for this
reason—people assimilate into it and thus, become even more lustful. Yet this
exploitation of sexuality is not natural but artificial, because the fact that
sexuality has become so heavily in demand, this engineered obsession, is a
human creation.

It is not
revolutions that change the world, but a simple weather event—and it
accomplishes in hours what would take years.

The brain and the
heart are thought of as if separated by a rigid boundary. Yet these two can
switch places or intertwine; there are souls who think with their hearts and
feel with their brains, who express their emotions through their thoughts and
their thoughts through their emotions.

While acting
means forgetting, thinking means remembering. That is why insight is the enemy
of movement.

Every external
act undertaken stems from an internal cause whose head cannot be severed, or,
in other words, is due to some sort of inability to silence oneself.

The most enduring
pleasures are mental pleasures cultivated within the mind, untouched by the
constant barrage of physical stimuli.

A confident
person is often the least likely to embrace change, diversity, alternatives,
and perspectives. Trust in oneself creates a sense of solidity, an attachment
to the status quo. Yet, to transcend, the status quo must first be opposed. To
evolve into someone different, perhaps into a “better” one, the current self
must be erased.

My chronology is,
as I think, clear: oppression leading to obedience, obedience leading to
suffocation, suffocation leading to rebellion, rebellion leading to isolation,
and isolation leading to transcendence.

If one wishes to
save time, instead of reducing writing to abbreviations—which only creates a

There are two
possibilities: it’s not about whether God exists or not, but rather whether
everything is God or nothing is God.

The potential for
transcendence lies not in “wisdom” or “dedication” but in self-doubt to the
point of erasure, for only by erasing the current self can one birth something
unseen before.

What is
interpreted as “good” or “bad” is entirely tied to the specific context of
Earth-bound organisms. In every sense, these beings are extensions of this
planet—life forms evolved to thrive under its conditions. That is why their
experiences and perceptions are inseparable from Earth. And in that sense, the
idea of being “free” from it is not possible; there is a fundamental connection
to it, not just biologically but existentially.

One must hold the
belief that bad things will constantly happen to them. In short, the general
perception of hope should be reversed: not to expect the good, but the bad.
Because if something bad happens, they won’t be too shaken by it since they
were already expecting it. And if something good happens, it will be unusually
joyful, precisely because it was unexpected.

A person who
stubbornly yet consciously defends only and solely themselves in every context
and situation is worthy of great respect.

Winter is harsh,
but with this harshness, it kills germs and brings health back to the earth.
Winter is silent, but with this silence, it offers the world a chance to rest.
Winter is a storyteller: with its blizzards, it expresses what cannot be
spoken. Winter is a friend; with its frost, it shares in suffering. Yet, winter
is timid too; it opens the doors of its heart only to those who know that each
snowflake is unique.

Emotions that

potentials for infinite fuel—especially rage. Or at least, they should be.
