Illusion of the contemplative (Aphorism 301)
From 'The Joyful Science'

Whatever has value in the present world, has not it in itself, by its nature,—nature is always worthless:—but a value was once given to it, bestowed upon it and it was we who gave and bestowed! We only have created the world which is of any account to man!

أندرُ الرجال هو المبدِع، والكلّ يحتاجونه ويتبَعونَه.

Humans always seek simple solutions, while the world is never simple.

This is why humans are stupid

Also, please don't consider yourself an expert in either politics or religion... Cuz you are not, trust me.

The Germany of the 1850s was the Germany of the Bund (1815–66), the confederation of states formed when the map of Europe was redrawn at the Congress of Vienna, following Napoleon’s defeat. The Bund comprised thirty-nine autonomous German states governed by Princes, Dukes, Bishops, Electors and so on. This fragmentation into small, and small-minded, states meant that there was no national army, no common tax structure, no overarching economic policy and no real political authority. Despot jockeyed against despot, too short-sighted to see the advantages of unification. As an additional complication, the Bund also contained Czechs in Bohemia, Danes in Holstein and Italians in the Tyrol. Hanover was governed by the King of England until 1837, Holstein by the King of Denmark and Luxembourg was under the Dutch King. In 1815, when the Deutscher Bund was formed, Austria had been the dominant member of the confederation but as the century progressed and Austrian Chancellor Metternich’s power waned, the large, mineral-rich state of Prussia became increasingly prosperous and bellicose under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

High-output heart failure is basically when the heart is doing its best, and it's still not enough... Just like med students in exams

أينَ النَديمُ السَمِح أينَ الصَبوح
فَقَد أمَضَّ الهَمُّ قلبي الجَريح
ثلاثةٌ هنّ أحَبُّ المُنى:
كأسٌ وأنغامٌ ووجهٌ صَبيح

مِصباحُ قَلبي يَستَمِدّ الضياء
مِن طَلعَةِ الغيدِ ذواتِ البهاء
لكنّني مِثلُ الفَراشِ الذي
يَسعى إلى النورِ وفيهِ الفَناء

أفِقْ خَفيفُ الظلِّ هذا السَحَر
نادى دَعِ النومَ وناغِ الوَتَر

فما أطالَ النومُ عُمرًا ولا
قَصَّر في الأعمارِ طولُ السَهَر
