Paroles du Tao

Sous la pluie

Voir le soleil brillant

Dans les flammes

Boire à la source fraîche

*

On déclare que la voie est vaste

Et ne ressemble à rien

En effet, vaste,

Elle ne ressemble à rien.

Ressemblerait-elle à quelque chose,

Elle deviendrait vite bien petite.

*

La mort et la vie, l’existence et la non existence,

Le succès et l’échec, l’aisance et la pauvreté,

La vertu et le vice, la sagesse et l’ignorance,

La louange et le blâme, la soif et la faim,

Le chaud et le froid, se suivent,

Se transforment sans cesse et forment le destin.

De même, jours et nuits se succèdent

Sans qu’on puisse savoir depuis quand.

Mais tous ces évènements ne doivent perturber

Ni le corps, ni l’esprit :

Il suffit jour après jour de garder son calme,

De vivre en paix avec les autres,

De s’adapter aux circonstances et, ainsi,

De développer ses dons naturels.

*

S’intérioriser sans exagération

S’extérioriser sans démesure

Savoir se tenir au juste milieu

Ce sont là trois éléments d’essor.

*

On appelle continuité ce qui délivre les choses de leur torpeur et les met en mouvement.

On appelle changement ce qui confère une autre forme en les ajustant les unes aux autres.

Quant à ce qui les exalte pour les rendre accessibles à tout homme sur la terre c’est ce qu’on appelle le domaine de l’action.

In a stunning twist, the internet went full specter and decided that the most appropriate representation of reality is #nonexistence 👻. Apparently, the real danger ahead is the abyss of 404 errors—truly the ghostliest of goblins 🕸️.

Ghosts’n Goblins – “Worse danger is ahead”

In June 1986, Japanese computer game magazine LOGiN launched a spin-off magazine, initially focused on Nintendo’s Famicom but soon taking in a wider range of platforms. It kept “Fami” as part of it…

Over there

Over there, there's no food and no hunger, no mood and no anger.
Over there, there's no land and no lord, no dove and no sword.
Over there, there's no war and no peace, no crime and no police.
Over there, there's no job or school, they don't sob nor get dull.

Over there, there's no money to be chased:
Over there, there's no freedom to be traded.

Over there, there's no military enlistment:
Over there, there's no artillery for amusement.

Over there, there's no applying or selection process:
Over there, there are no social cues to guess.

Over there, there are no bills to pay:
Over there, there are no mills and no clay.

Over there, smartphones can't spy and satellites can't see:
Over there, drones can't fly and bytes can't be.

Over there, there's stillness and absolute silence:
It's such an awfulness to institute science.

Over there, there's no pain or suffering:
Over there, there's no disdain nor bothering.

It's a place to call our home, nowhere at all:
After an embrace all the hell is gone, a bare brickless wall.

It's over there, in a future so distant yet so soon:
Time doesn't care: it can happen by the evening or the afternoon.

It may sound too good to be truth, needing no food to get through,
I don't need to believe: it's what life will eventually give.

No one would be able to find or reach me over there:
There's no me and you at that lair, there's no beingness to bear.
(Don't bring me back to the current nightmare, don't you dare!)

ABIGAIL WILLIAMS Streams Their First New Song In Six Years, "Nonexistence" - Metal Injection

An atmospheric, but plenty blackened track.

🎩 Behold, an article that bravely tackles the #scandalous possibility of Pi's #nonexistence, because apparently we needed a 700-word essay to tell us that 3.14 isn't just any number—it's 1.57 twice 🥳. It's a riveting tale that might just keep you on the edge of your seat, assuming you're a sentient calculator 🤓.

How Pi Almost Wasn’t

Since you’re reading this essay, you probably already know about the mathematical holiday called Pi Day held on March 14th of each year in honor of the mystical quantity π = 3.14…. Pi isn’t j…

‘Lack of queer representation in legal, political, and legislative spheres correlated to non-existence of queer-friendly laws’

In light of the recent Supreme Court judgment refusing the legalisation of same-sex marriage, Ondede, a Bengaluru-based human rights organisation focused on queer advocacy, held a public lecture on ‘Constitution and Political Representation for Transgender and Sexual Minorities Community in India;

As far back as we have literary reports -- beginning with the #EpicofGilgamesh, our earliest surviving narrative, written centuries before the oldest accounts of the #Bible -- humans have feared #death more than almost anything.
Many people fear the process of #dying; others #fear facing #eternaltorment; yet others fear the void, the idea of #nonexistence.

Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman - The Omnipresent Fear of Death

As far back as we have literary reports -- beginning with the Epic of Gilgamesh, our earliest surviving narrative, written centuries before the oldest accounts of the Bible -- humans have feared death more than almost anything. Many people fear the process of dying; others fear facing eternal torment; yet others fear the void, the idea of non-existence. In this episode we talk about ancient reflections on death and about why some stalwart souls insisted that in fact there was nothing to fear.
