Gratitude, happiness, myth, being created, silence, the creator, and God

***

To stop, to slow down, to exalt

To be myself and nobody.

Where is there room for even gratitude, if everything is as it should be?

We call it happiness when events conspire to distract us from the anguish of not knowing ourselves.

My, myth.

You will not know god until you do not know god. The word 'god' means: I don't know what the word god means.

You must be willing to be destroyed, in order to be created.

Silence is the only real existential argument.

The bad news is that the good news was a lie.

Nothing does not happen.

The creator is the creation.

Be nothing while being.
