The Despair of Existence.


This world wasn't created for human happiness and no hamster can get out of its spinning wheel. However, running in the wheel brings pleasure to a hamster and walking in blind mazes gives the feeling of illusionary freedom. Whatever we may do, we can't avoid a stick. And even if we have a choice, we don't feel like choosing it.

This world consists of contradictions. We are aimed at both freedom and order, but these are two different directions. Something that we want most kills us and attainment of perfection- the goal of our life- means its end as well.

The  crowd`s  foolishness  consists  of  the  wisdom  and  irony  of 
every  single  person  filling  it... 
That  is,  wisdom,  gathered  in  the  crowd,  becomes 
foolishness,  and  foolishness,  fallen  to  pieces, 
becomes  the  ironic,  all  knowing  wisdom...
