“Ideas come as you walk, Nietzsche said. Walking dissipates thoughts, Shankara taught.

“I don’t understand why we must do things in this world, why we must have friends and aspirations, hopes and dreams.

Then we could renounce culture and ambitions; we would lose everything and gain nothing; for what is there to be gained from this world?”
― Emil Cioran, On the Heights of Despair
