Mr. Cogito

“Mr. Cogito Meditates on Suffering All attempts to remove the so-called cup of bitterness– by reflection frenzied actions on behalf of homeless cats deep breathing religion– failed one must consent gently bend the head not wring the hands make use of the suffering gently moderately like an artificial limb without false shame but also without unnecessary pride do not brandish the stump over the heads of others don’t knock with the white cane against the windows of the well-fed drink the essence of bitter herbs but not to the dregs leave carefully a few sips for the future accept but simultaneously isolate within yourself and if it is possible create from the matter of suffering a thing or a person play with it of course play entertain it very cautiously like a sick child forcing at last with silly tricks a faint smile”
