Fragments, sayings and quotes, part 9, by Gabriel Raam, May, 2022
I don’t understand the whole idea of writing and reading fiction.
Life is full of amazing, breathtaking stories that we only fly above their flat surface. But instead of diving into them in order to find meaning and intricacy – like in a good novel, we escape to invited novels.
Which are good for children, but for adults it is mainly an escape from their own lives.
*
Children understand instinctively, already at an early age that there is a censorship from the adults not to show signs of sadness, loneliness, being lost, fear, etc. – they feel that what is expected of them is to act happy, to be playful and full with joy of life, and when they show signs of difficulty of adjustment to some of the more difficult aspect of life – they don’t get compassion – but an expression that they are not behaving right.
*
A world without compassion is hell, more so for the soul-people (what is called: highly sensitive persons).
*
Being a medical doctor without compassion is bad, but being a psychotherapist without compassion is a waste of time at best or a sin against the client at worst.

*
There is one thing for which there should be no forgiveness – where there is a cry for compassion – and no one around is even thinking about the giving of compassion.
*
Abandonment, Harassments and injustice – are done only to the weak, (who even feel guilty and not victims, as they should), never to the strong and to those who stand on their rights.
*
Many highly sensitive people suffer from self-guilt instead of going out to take revenge from those who made him a victim.
*
Most works of writing could be more or less popular, but great works are either standing high above the rest (Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky) – or be ignored all together.
*
In order to be a patriot you have to give up being a human to other human beings, the established legal territorial collective is the holy cow, next to it- one human being and his intimate life by itself has no significance at all.
*
You cannot be for seeming (like consciousness development) without being against something else (like social oppression and control).
*
Why try to search for deep meaning and a message in novels and stories, when their primary object is escapism. If you want a message and meaning look for essays not stories.
*
Too much advice from everyone, but too little compassion.
*
Often the one who points at the chains is being perceived as the warden…
*
Grownup children who have children of their own often ask for assistance from their aging parents concerning looking after their grandchildren, but it doesn’t cross their mind what assistance do their old parents need from them?
*
People are running after and following so-called: spiritual masters, if they would be real spiritual masters people would run away from them, because they could not stand the truth that they either issue or even just radiate.
*
What is nourishment and even inspiration for a high consciousness person could be perceived as a threat, attack and even poison – by a (the common) low level person.
*
Women in their search for great sexual experience look for a macho.
The same macho that will dump and abandon her, when he had enough.
*
We are born to live. But this life is a corridor to our destination: death and disappearance.
*
Great man must go through great suffering. (The greater they are – the greatest is the crisis and the suffering.
*
All wars are a result of a power struggle being expressed by a territorial dispute.
*
We dedicate our lives to our children, and they do it to their children, and our parents are now subject to our sense of duty, or are even being left behind altogether.
*
Why the practice of medicine has to come at the expense of humanity and compassion?
*
The sentence: “it is just like a movie” – is a terrible simulacra-sentence, it implies that movies became reality, and reality is only reality when it resembles the secularity and drama of a movie.
