Quotation of the day

Daily Quote:
"Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile." (Baudrillard, Jean - Smile)

It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies.

It is wisdom in prosperity, when all is as thou wouldn't have it, to fear and suspect the worst.
