Yes, we all look a little mysterious and absurd to each other, but no one looks as foreign as a dead person does. We can forgive some stranger her choice to practice Catholicism or engage in homosexual acts, but not her submission to death. We hate a backslider. Worse than alcoholism or heroin addiction, dying seems like the greatest weakness, and in the world where people say you're lazy for not shaving your legs, then being dead seems like the ultimate character flaw.

Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.

[wordsnquotes]

sublime [suh-blahym]

(adjective) Regarded as of the most beautiful words in the English language, sublime’s beauty lies in its infinite sense of transcendental supremacy. It takes the shape of everything, which is exalted, impressive, surreal and grandiose. Unconsciously when the word sublime is uttered, our mind and speech travel to an alternate dimension; thus, one understands that if an event, place, or thing is called sublime, it is dreamy, abstract, and divine beyond human calculation.  (via wordsnquotes)
