And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. - Nietsche
here in lies, most of the pebbles i had gathered, when i whiled away abyss-gazing
Life doesn’t owe you anything. There is no equilibrium that decides that something won’t happen because it isn’t fair or doesn’t make sense. You just have to find the beautiful moments when you can, and realise that this is it!
— Ken Gunn Lee, on quora
I found this gem when I was scrolling furiously on quora. Totally forgot the original question. Nor do I remember the actual answer. This was a comment under an answer.
Sometime back when i was strolling in a mall with a friend discussing about Indian GDP and the soon to be correction in the Stock market (Yeah, we both were just ogling babes, n eating muffins). He said something similar to the above quote. something profound. something to the tune of “just because you don’t eat a lion, doesn’t necessarily mean the lion won’t eat you”. And that made total sense.
Well, it is what it is!
Though in hindsight, he shouldn’t have eaten my muffin. I lost a friend that day.
