If you take life at face value, it loses its luster pretty quickly. If you go after it, you get more out of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.
As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.
I think it's good that people value their bodies and take care of them. I think if you cross the line and begin using your body as an asset or as an extension of your vanity, you've gone too far.
Life always kills you in the end, but first it prevents you from getting what you want.
My theory is that the way you cope with the depths will ascertain the heights that you reach - they are intimately connected - and if you have a lust for life, you are also going to have a lust for death.
Without a sense of urgency, desire loses its value.
The longer your life goes on, the more death you face.
What's funny is that you can think you really value your life until you almost lose it.
It is the fine excesses of life that make it worth living.
In my experience lust only ever leads to misery. All that suspicion and jealousy and anguish it unleashes. I don't want those things in my life.
