Sartre said: Hell is other poeple... (les outre)
The ego believes this phrase.
Hell is other people more often than not.
Even people who give you heaven, give you hell after sometime.
Our expectations can not be fullfilled.
So, what to do... as always ... we find out we can't rely on other people, so we are frustrated. Some people reach despair, thinking it's all so pointless. then you reach the state of sarcasm and bitterness and resentment. Life hasn't played its part. this deep belief of the world is preventing me from being myself, sets in. You believe Everyone is an obsticle to being myself.
Absurd. Absurd. Absurd.
Some will weep and wail until the very end. please let there be a different way.
the lesson: there is an undestructible part of us. no matter the mess we have made of our life. The undestructible part of us, is not touched by any of the mess. The original essence is there. It can be discovered. Some call it grace, the redeeming factor of life. some get there from suffering and some get there from teachings such as this one.
There is so much pain to come out first. I hope to not run out of time.
Inspired by "the Power of Now".

I sympathize with every letter of this text:)
Bana, më çove te Sartri dhe gjeta një pjesë ku ai flet për "Ferri është të tjerët" dhe thotë diçka që rimon shumë me atë çka ti nxjerr si mësim, sipas meje, kuptohet:
...j'ai voulu montrer, par l'absurde, l'importance, chez nous, de la liberté, c'est-à-dire l'importance de changer les actes par d'autres actes. Quel que soit le cercle d'enfer dans lequel nous vivons, je pense que nous sommes libres de le briser. Et si les gens ne le brisent pas, c'est encore librement qu'ils y restent. De sorte qu'ils se mettent librement en enfer.
Në shqipen time:
...kam dashur të tregoj nëpërmjet absurdit, rëndësinë që ka për ne liria, dmth rëndësia e ndryshimit të një veprimi nëpërmjet një tjetri. Cilido qoftë rrethi i ferrit në të cilin ndodhemi, mendoj se jemi të lirë ta thyejmë. Dhe nëse njerëzit nuk e thyejnë, dhe në këtë rast, ata shfrytëzojnë lirinë e veprimit. Në këtë mënyrë shkojnë me këmbët e tyre në ferr.
Ka aty dhe një pjesë interesante mbi raportin tonë me veten dhe të tjerët, nuk e di nëse lexon frëngjisht, gjeta një copë në anglisht se no time to translate:)
…“hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why? Because…when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves, … we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters. … But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us....
të diel me diell!

p.s. ...and All is full of love...
you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it
maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at
trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you
all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook
all is full of love
your doors are all shut
all is full of love!
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
Eni, rrofsh.
Aklli, me pelqeu pjesa e dyte ne anglisht. patjeter ne marrim ne konsiderate mendimin e nje tjetri per ne, dhe na rendon goxha ne varesi te mardhenjes me tjetrin. dhe sidomos nese ekziston nje twisted mardhenie.
dhe ai libri qe po lexoj si dhe ata qe e plotesojne, mundohet te thyej ato bonds, dhe te mos e marrim, as mendimet tona per veten, jo me te tjereve, shume seriozisht. te mos i marrim seriozisht, sepse vijne nga nje source "mendja" e cila eshte twisted deri diku, dhe jo relaible. Pra, our thoughts are not reliable, and so are our importance on other people, identities, opinions etc...
head scratching, I know.
thanks for the Bjork video. s'e kisha pare.
