“I understand you. You think that pain is bad, that suffering is bad. You think that our way is to go beyond suffering, but there is no end to suffering. When I was young I felt very bad for all the suffering that people have. But now I don’t feel so bad. Now I see suffering as inescapable. Now I see that suffering is beautiful. You must suffer more.”
David Chadwick; The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

“Modern constitutions postulate peace. Peace is given as the fundamental value. The Hobbes-Rousseau-Hegel line assumes peace as the foundation: peace as the solution to war. In contractual form in Hobbes; mythical in Rousseau; Dialectical in Hegel, peace resolves the state of war that emanates from the multiplicity of interests. but are the concepts of peace and war truly opposites, so that peace can be considered to be the alternative and resolution to war? I do not think so. In the tradition of classics of materialism I do not see ‘peace’ as the opposite and solution to war, I see life instead.
Peace does not seem to me to be the solution to war but only the demystified value of the victor. If war is violence and destruction of life, the paradox of peace, which appears in the fact that it is taken as the foundation and end of Power, is that in order for it to be efficacious peace ends up confirming war.”

"Time has started to fold on itself. I found myself having lunch with my future self and past self simultaneously. We argued over who would pay the bill that hasn't been written yet."
