#futlity

[alexandervaldeau]

To my disappointment, I repeatedly fail to understand how one may exude such anger and hatred over banalities. I am of the firm belief it stems from deep self-discontent coupled with the inability to change. Why else would one have the unrelenting urge to chronically argue about things of the past? At my own peril, I tried healing the unhealable, curing the incurable and mending the unmendable. It is with deep dissatisfaction I realized I have been a victim of my own futility.

[itsquoted]

As I look around I see the crumbling ruins of a proud civilisation strewn like a vast heap of futility. And yet I shall not commit the grievous sin of losing faith in Man. I would rather look forward to the opening of a new chapter in his history after the cataclysm is over and the atmosphere rendered clean with the spirit of service and sacrifice … A day will come when unvanquished Man will retrace his path of conquest, despite all barriers, to win back his lost human heritage.

Rabindranath Tagore
