“At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles. Friend, client, child, sickness, fear, want, charity, all knock at once at thy closet door, and say,–‘Come out unto us.’ But keep thy state; come not into their confusion…
…The power men possess to annoy me, I give them by a weak curiosity. No man can come near me but through my act. What we love that we have, but by desire we bereave ourselves of the love.”
—Emerson
Conspiracy.
Was Emerson right?
Do people actually go out of their way to bother others? – To try & bring emphatic trifles into another’s life?
I can’t imagine any decent person doing that to someone, but this world is filled with a whole range of people.
It’s filled with people seeking power, liars, manipulators, greed, ego .. all for what?
People don’t even know…
Some light would be nice. Some truth.
& some encouragement even maybe – rather than discouragement & bothering others… but if you want to be encouraged, begin by encouraging yourself.
Don’t enter the confusion of the masses & of the criminal “leaders” of today…beware of their greed & their shallow ways, and just go your own way.
Love yourself, & don’t ever expect love from a lying politician or any of the criminals in the “upper” class.
