My personal favorite is from the diaries of the Italian novelist Cesare Pavese: "You have become an adult when you realize that telling your troubles does not make them better."Don’t tell a shrink that, they would want to remain in business. |

The rest may be brutal, but #1 is fine with me.

Bean soup, huh? I guess that means a White Russian is bean chowder.  |

"Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen" (Adorno) There are different translations available "There is no right life in the wrong one" "There is no true life within a false life" “There is no correct life in the one that is false.” For those who want to dig deeper www.sup.org/books/extra/?id=31023&i=Excerpt%20from%20Chapter%201.htmlOnce a philosophy student told me when I (as a non-philosopher) asked him about what exactly Adorno meaned with richtiges Leben, that richtiges Leben means being aware of all implications of what You do at every moment. |

Life is unfair. That’s the rule, not the exception. Basically, your task in life is to try to make it less unfair.

13. Unless you're a famous historical figure, you will be completely forgotten within a few decades of your death.
I’m featured on a website that’s preserved for posterity by the British Library's UK Web Archive so I probably won’t be completely forgotten. Just mostly forgotten.
Mind you, things do get accidentally deleted.

If you insist on telling people how good you are you will be mocked. |

I’m thinking sooner or later all family trees will be created through AI and I’ll be replaced by a handsome body builder with a PhD. |
