rousseau
I want you to read this carefully and really think about what this is saying.
"Everything is in continual flux on earth. Nothing on it retains a constant and static form, and our affections, which are attached to external things, necessarily pass away and change as they do...In our most intense enjoyments, there is hardly an instant when the heart can say to us: "I would like this instant to last forever". And how can we call happiness a fleeting state which leaves our heart still worried and empty, which makes us long for something beforehand or desire something else afterward?
Jean Jacques Rousseau.
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, man, I wish this could last forever, or I wish I could stay here forever. Well, why would you? Because eventually that feeling will fade, and you will be left with a hole so big that you can't fill it. But if you continue in your life, you will experience so many of those happy moments that it'll be like you never left in the first place.....
"the deepest wounds will never heal"
