The old, the ossified, must always give way to new life and the birth of new things. Before the new things can be born the old must perish. This is a dangerous realization, because it tells us that we must eventually part with much of what is familiar to us. And that hurts. But that is part of the script of life. Unless we can psychologically accommodate change, we ourselves begin to die, inwardly. What I am saying is that objects, customs, habits, and ways of life must perish so that the authentic human being can live. And it is the authentic human being who matters most, the viable, elastic organism which can bounce back, absorb, and deal with the new.

Tiens, j’ai justement entendu cet argument il n’y a pas longtemps.

Vu comme ça, c’est clair que la justice passe à côté de quelque chose. Et décidément, je suis de plus en plus fan d’Ovidie.

Certains points font plus grincer des dents que d’autres

Très instructif et une idée de visite pour ceux que ça intéresse :)

Intéressant décryptage.
