All interpretation or observation of reality is necessarily fiction. In this case, the problem is that man is a moral animal abandoned in an amoral universe and condemned to a finite existence with no other purpose than to perpetuate the natural cycle of the species. It is impossible to survive in a prolonged state of reality, at least for a human being. We spend a good part of our lives dreaming, especially when we're awake.
Carlos Ruiz ZafonIt is difficult to hate an idea. That requires a certain intellectual discipline and a slightly obsessive, sick mind. There arenโt too many of those. Itโs much easier to hate someone with a recognizable face whom we can blame for everything that makes us feel uncomfortable. It doesnโt have to be an individual character. It could be a nation, a race, a group. . .anything.
