"“Zlo je neobičan stvor, puno razmišljam o tome. Kad se skriva, ne možeš dokazati da postoji. Kad izadje na vidjelo, dobiva vlastitu gravitaciju. Nešto je pokrenuto davno prije nas i mi to šutke kočimo, kočimo čitavih života. Znamo da tako valja, pa učimo i djecu da nastave kočiti nakon nas. Ali se i trošimo, jer nam mir nije prirodno stanje.”" — Jan 22, 2023 12:24PM

“The Fourteenth Book is entitled, "What can a Thoughtful Man Hope for Mankind on Earth, Given the Experience of the Past Million Years?"
It doesn't take long to read The Fourteenth Book. It consists of one word and a period.
This is it: "Nothing.”
― Cat’s Cradle

“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d”
― Eloisa to Abelard

“In the beginning, God created the earth, and he looked upon it in His cosmic loneliness.
And God said, "Let Us make living creatures out of mud, so the mud can see what We have done." And God created every living creature that now moveth, and one was man. Mud as man alone could speak. God leaned close to mud as man sat up, looked around, and spoke. Man blinked. "What is the purpose of all this?" he asked politely.
"Everything must have a purpose?" asked God.
"Certainly," said man.
"Then I leave it to you to think of one for all this," said God.
And He went away.”
