The way towards 'wisdom' or towards 'freedom' is the way towards your inner being. This is the simplest definition of metaphysics. - Mircea Eliade

De tot ce se întâmplă în lume sunt şi eu vinovat. Pentru că nu sunt un om întreg, nu sunt o unitate armonioasă, sunt un ins dezaxat, fără centru. Probabil că mai sunt şi alţii, zeci de milioane, ca mine. Şi cum pentru societăţile moderne lumea înseamnă tot mai puţin Cosmos şi tot mai multă Istorie, îţi dai seama ce repercusiuni poate avea dezechilibrul acesta interior în afară de noi. Cum am putea fi creatori în Istorie noi, câteva zeci de milioane de dezechilibraţi?

"It is above all the valorizing of the present that requires emphasizing. The simple fact of existing, of living in time, can comprise a religious dimension. This dimension is not always obvious, since sacrality is in a sense camouflaged in the immediate, in the "natural" and the everyday. The joy of life discovered by the Greeks is not a profane type of enjoyment: it reveals the bliss of existing, of sharing — even fugitively — in the spontaneity of life and the majesty of the world. Like so many others before and after them, the Greeks learned that the surest way to escape from time is to exploit the wealth, at first sight impossible to suspect, of the lived instant."

It would be frightening to think that in all the cosmos, which is so harmonious, so complete and equal to itself, that only human life is happening randomly, that only one's destiny lacks meaning.
