All things come into being by conflict of opposites, and the sum of things (τὰ ὅλα ta hola, "the whole") flows like a stream.

“When any distress or terror surprises us in the midst of our amusements, it naturally makes a deeper impression than at other times, either because the contrast makes us more keenly susceptible, or rather perhaps because our senses are then more open to impressions, and the shock is consequently stronger.”

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

Hold On To Your Ego Pt. 1

"We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is

doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as

warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming

and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The

suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful to us than any other.

We tend to regard it as a kind of gratuitous addition, although it cannot be any less

fatefully inevitable than the suffering which comes from elsewhere."

- S. Freud in Civilization and its Discontents

"Nihilism is disappointed seriousness which has turned back upon itself." (Isn't this the essence of disillusionment? )

Nov. 5, 1922: Lulu McGrath is greeted by a diver in “Wonders of the Sea,” filmed off the Bahamas during the early days of underwater motion pictures. A report the following spring on a project by J.E. Williamson, the film’s director, related the perils of camera work at the time: “Not so very long ago, an intrepid photographer, when attempting to get a picture from an airplane of the crater of Vesuvius, just saved himself from falling into the seething, angry lava. This same cameraman, who is employed by Fox News, had another narrow escape from death in an airplane a few weeks ago. But he is inoculated with the spirit of adventure and keeps going.” Photo: The New York Times
