Erik Pevernagie

"Lightness and weightiness are both linked to a philosophy of life. They are choices in life. Heaviness can be the embodiment of a sense of responsibility, the expression of maturity, the result of profound meditation or the emanation of a search for meaning in life. Weightiness, however, may also lead to a feeling of oppression, when it is felt as a burden, an unbearable burden. Then time has come to let loose and things can finally lose their gravity. ['The unbearable heaviness of being']"

A.E. Samaan

"In an unfathomable expanse of universe supporting galaxies of star systems with orbiting planets innumerable, I am nothing. And yet to the few bodies encircling my tiny little spot in the world, I am essential."

Quote_1.png
A.E. Samaan

"But, you see, it's not what you do that matters really. It's only you.""Me what?""Just you here. Or you in the city. Or you somewhere in the world. I don't know. Just that."

Quote_1.png
A.E. Samaan

"If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."

"I am alive because you want me to."

Quote_1.png
A.E. Samaan

"It is a subliminal thing. It is the tick of a clock that has ticked so long one no longer notices. Something is in a room when a man lives in it. Something is not in the room when a man is dead in it."

A.E. Samaan

"Each individual is born into life as a creation from the source, and as an inhabitant and visitor to this planet."

A.E. Samaan

"I'm not dead yet, just in a state of rapid decay, who isn't?"

Quote_1.png
A.E. Samaan

"If your existence does not make any difference, you are no more than a dead body."

A.E. Samaan

"Life before consciousness was like blank paper, so be it."

"Some seem to be desynchronized in their relationships. They feel oppressed, because they cannot move forward together and at the same pace. Their thinking is often incongruent, their motivation disparate. The phone could be a mediator, as it creates an impression to be a perfect reliable friend. However, in the end, it causes rather a sense of isolation, since it divides more than it unites. Eventually it appears not to be such a good friend but only a ghost friend. ['Kein Schwein ruft mich an']"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"Some are condemned to remain mere "clock and smart phone watchers, inasmuch as they are not able to read and interpret the lines of their life or don't even treasure the enchantment of daily captivating moments. If we are not prepared to give some personal time to social time, we walk like blind men through gloomy alleys of our existence. [' Please. Just a bit of a chat ']"

Erik Pevernagie
"Definitions and meanings change all the time. Truth and reality are very volatile, indefinite, multi layered and sometimes very paradoxical. That's why it is very fiddly to make a set definition for the phenomena of our daily life. [' Did not expect it would ever happen, there']"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"Should happiness and success be hidden, in view of the misery and poverty around. Would it be a sign of selfishness and un-intellectual behavior, if we admit to a pursuit of happiness? Could it, on the contrary, not work out as a motivation and an incentive? When giving voice to our happiness, could it not be perceived as a positive challenge? Could happiness not be contagious and become a salutary infectious syndrome? A beneficial infection. ['Happy days are back again']"

Erik Pevernagie
"Rumours should be juicy and gossips must be mouth-watering, since they have to uplift and make people feel better. Tittle-tattle can have a swift ripple effect and when the ball is rolling very fast, it kick-starts a flood of moral destruction. "Schadenfreude can, then, be fully enjoyed. ['Juicy rumours']"

Erik Pevernagie
"Emotional illiterates, who don't recognize the sound of a broken heart, will never be able to hear the subtle vibrations of love reverberating through the rustling flora of life. ['Love as dizzy as a cathedral']"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"When we feel lost in time, with only shadows of the past living in our mind; when the moment, which "was", no longer "is and when only silence remains, loads of questions arise. We can cry a river or we may wonder: "What went wrong?"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"Outbreaks of unvarnished truths in the backyard of our true self can be very precious and inspiring, even though we might inconsistently be tempted to give in to the exhilarating perfume of fables and fairy tales or to flattering praise and fiction. ['The day the mirror was talking back']"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"In a world spoiled by the obituary of attention and the dormancy of empathy, people are coming up short of authentic emotion. ['The upper lip must never tremble']"
Quote_1.png
Erik Pevernagie
"Let us doom and gloom not creep into our day and lust for life not wither away. With the future as brother-in-arms, steps in the unknown should not frighten. ['Steps in the unknown']"
