In other words,
us, the creatures,
have no
other meaning
but to distract the Creator.
Poor clowns of the absolute,
we forget that we live dramas
for the boredom of a spectator,
whose
claps have never reached
the ears of a mortal.
and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul — then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness!”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky
