A collection (with brief introductory remarks) of |
|
writings by pessimists and pessimist sympathizers... |
|
Pratt, Bataille, Zapfe, Noys, Cioran, Leopardi, Popa, and |
|
Flueres explore the ramifications of, if not believing |
|
that things will get worse, then at least certainly not |
|
believing that things will get better. "Healthy thinking |
|
avoids morbidity and tries to be optimistic but this |
|
doesn't matter too much, the morbidity is in the world |
|
itself-we may abandon morbidity but morbidity is not |
|
abandoning us." "The power of laughter is terrible and |
|
awful: anyone who has the courage to laugh is master over |
|
others, in the same way as anyone who has the courage to |
|
die." |
