I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind.

        And the same method can be applied to the other senses.

        Hear the mighty strains of an orchestra as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.

        Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail.

        Smell the perfume of flowers, taste and relish each morsel as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again.

        Make the most of every sense, glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which nature provides.

        We live in a violent world and violence can be used in film to direct our attention to that reality.  But since the success of 'Pulp Fiction', it seems like every movie has violence in it and it's now used as a form of comedy -  audiences are encouraged to laugh when people get their heads blown off. At a certain point, we have to laugh at bad things because it lessens the pain of realizing this is what our world is like - but still, it's strange to hear people laugh at violence.

Well, then, shall mere glory distract you?

Look at the swiftness of the oblivion of all men;
the gulf of endless time, behind and before;
the hollowness of applause, the fickleness and folly of those who seem to speak well of you,
and the narrow room in which it is confined.

This should make you pause.

For the entire earth is a point in space,
and how small a corner thereof is this your dwelling place,
and how few and how paltry those who will sing your praises here!
 

....The Universe is change, life is opinion.

 

Trouble no one about their religion;
respect others in their view,
and demand that they respect yours...

Abuse no one and nothing,
for abuse turns the wise ones to fools
and robs the spirit of its vision.
