Книга: Of the Greatness of Life (Helmut Lauschke)

In the unknown lies the infinity of hope, expectation and greatness with its beauty, joy, mourning and the dreams of achievements and fulfillments. Knowledge is the exception, ignorance is common. Knowledge is an achievement, ignorance is the natural origin. Achievements are work related, the ignorance not as a lack of interest, willpower and vision. Secrecy lies between known and unknown. It forges both together. The problem starts when you separate them and distinguish one from the other with the precision of truth. Language in its complexity is very difficult. To bring the tools for speaking together that is real art. The sensory and the motor skills in speaking is always difficult and never exact in the explanation of the details. The galaxy is the mirror reflecting human thoughts and words. It is a kind of filter that some thoughts and words permeate into the depth of the universe to recreate the world from the beginning. The misunderstanding is like a huge hole in the bridge of communication which is hardly or not to be bypassed that there is the risk of falling through with being expelled from this world spiritually and intellectually. The unknown is like the virginity of innocence which has to be explored and handled very carefully and respectfully. Music is right from the beginning more direct, spontaneous and comprehensive than the spoken word. Intelligence and recognition cannot be achieved by talking only. More discipline and reflections are needed to understand the meaning of life and nature and mankind and humanity and respect in general. To pretend something is like a building that is collapsing due to the totally wrong conception. Wisdom is in the consideration to listen to the principals of good and truth rather than to self-interest. Justice means that the stronger looks after the weaker, and to look after the good of the many (Socrates). In the realm of sensible things the eye can see the sight of colors only in the medium of light that emanates from the Sun. Likewise, in the realm of ideas the mind can achieve rational insight into the truth only in the medium of ideas, which emanates from the highest and brightest of them that of the Good. As the Sun is the source of both light and life in our physical world, so is the Good the source of all intellectual light and all spiritual life in the world of ideas (Plato). The empty vessel makes the loudest sound (Shakespeare). God has given you one face, and you make yourself another (Shakespeare). It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get (Confucius). Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it (Confucius). Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall (Confucius). The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones (Confucius). «Nihil est sine ratione» (Leibniz). Good philosophy consists of competent explanations (Leibniz). «If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants» (Newton).
