" When two people part , it is the one who isnot in Love Who makes the tender speeches. "

" ሁለት ሰዎች በተለያዩ ጊዜ ከሁለቱ ያማረ እና ልብ የሚነኩ ቃላት የሚጠቀመው አይወድ የነበረው ነው ። "

Society and our relationships

Aristotle tells us that people are made to live with other people.
All of us, to a greater or lesser extent, have ways of life that connect us to others.
At one end, we are someone's child.
On the other end, we are the human race.
At the same time, we are part of the community.
Nature itself forces man to live in association.
Our social animality is a fact written in our blood.
Society is a system in which human beings live together.
It contains interactions and relationships that can change the course of our lives and our individual identities.

Philosophy from Jacob to Socrates
He who isn't contented with what he has wouldn't be contented with what he would like to have. "

" One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the lifes of others. "

" የአንድ ሰው ሕይወት ዋጋ የሚኖረው ለሌሎች ሰዎች ሕይወት ዋጋ እስከሰጠ ድረስ ነው ። "

"The testimony of Dostoevski is relevant to this problem — Dostoevski, the only psychologist, incidentally, from whom I had something to learn; he ranks among the most beautiful strokes of fortune in my life... This profound human being, who was ten times right in his low estimate of the superficial Germans, lived for a long time among the convicts in Siberia — hardened criminals for whom there was no way back to society — and found them very different from what he himself had expected: they were carved out of just about the best, hardest, and most valuable wood that grows anywhere on Russian soil."

– Friedrich Nietzsche: Twilight of the Idols, 1889

"... Most people learn nothing from experience, except confirmation of their prejudices."
Bertrand Russell

[ FULL CITATION ]

"The government of the world, moral as well as political, is almost wholly in the hands of the old, who have known the world, not merely for thirty years, but for fifty, sixty, or seventy. All these men have learnt from experience to believe what they already believed before they had experience, for most people learn nothing from experience, except confirmation of their prejudices."

— Bertrand Russell, Mortals and Others, Bertrand Russell’s American Essays 1931–1935, Vol. I, Essay, VI: The Lessons of Experience, p. 30 (23 September 1931)

In the early 1930s, the New York American and other newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst published a literary page to which a large number of writers and artists contributed. Bertrand Russell was one of the regulars, contributing a total of 156 essays from 22 July 1931 to 2 May 1935. In one year alone (1933), he contributed fifty items, virtually one each week. Intended as they were for a newspaper audience, his essays made frequent reference to the events and problems of the day, the Great Depression, the rise of Nazism and Stalinism, Prohibition, the New Deal and many more.

“People settle for a level of despair they can tolerate and call it happiness.”
― Søren Kierkegaard

All that we call evil in a moral sense—violence, slavery, the destruction of one creature by another—is the law of the world and nature, which lives by nothing more than this rule of struggle among creatures and destruction of creatures by one another. "

[Vladimir Sergevich Solovyov : Russian Christian Philosopher ]
