MY, your, or our own odyssey ended in serene isolation and tranquil passivity.
To finally choose to will not to will, and simply to exist in a state of perfect indolence and listlessness.
In my present situation, " I no longer have any other rule of conduct than in everything to follow my propensity and inclinations without restraint."
To record in writing my daydreams and to savor select episodes from my past in the pages of my reveries, a good man lost in his thoughts, savoring anew those moments, brief and transient yet sweet. When I had felt most " perfectly free."
It is founded on daily Soul-searching, "one may say about this way of life what one will." People who take it seriously are distinguished in a way that is worthy of honor. They possess the highest qualities that a human being can possess, namely a calmness and pleasantness, an inner peace that can be disturbed by no obsession, passion or craze.
"The gentle but sensitive tranquility," of the philosopher is infinitely preferable to the euphoric elation and thrills dreamed of by the mystics.
His would be a philosophical life devoted to calm reasoning, impermeable by design to the caprices of strong feelings and unruly impulses.
All changes nowadays frightens me, even one that might offer a greater prospect of improvement in my circumstances.
All I have wanted is a situation in which my spirit, hypersensitive but in other respects carefree, and my body, more troublesome but never actually sick, can both be kept busy without being strained, and that is what I have managed to obtain.
to reach the conclusion that;"The unexamined life is not worth living."
Again many thanks for your patience with my ideas, opinions and my friends, salamat.
