Quotes by David Rieff (?)

“All major religious traditions accept that suffering and death are simply part of life. The deep radicalism of humanitarian action is its belief that people are not made to suffer.”

“Perhaps we become accustomed to our grief and, as it becomes increasingly familiar, increasingly part of the emotional landscape, it becomes a dullness. But there is no closure, no forgetting. One mourns those one has loved who have died until one joins them. It happens soon enough.”
― David Rieff, Swimming in a Sea of Death: A Son's Memoir

tags: grief-and-loss

“به همان اندازه که متعهدیم به دیگران بگوییم چه چیز قابل قبول است، همان‌قدر تعهد داریم که نگوییم چه چیز قابل قبول نیست”
