The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.
Try to imagine jumping from the edge of a very tall building. Just floating, flying, weightless. Those seconds would feel like minutes and you would be completely at peace. I often find myself wondering if that feeling would be worth, hitting the ground at the end.
