― Lao Tzu

That's a good point. While in withdrawal, I felt my life was on hold. I was both depressed and anxious, by turns living in the past and future---never the present.

aloha, that one's the truth--except in benzo withdrawal, when the present is not peaceful for me.

The original quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is on the previous page. It’s one of my fav quotes as well. Though it would sound better in German. Few philosophers had such a literary talent and sharp mind as Nietzsche, IMO. I guess he was also the one who gazed too long into the Abyss. Which resulted in his tragic mental breakdown in 1889 and early death more than a year later at the age of 55.

Nietzsche, aww... that bring back the memories of the first 2 years of my liceum.

Years of study, Ginger. Was going to write a PhD thesis about him and other existentialist philosophers. Half psychology, half philosophy. Had it all nicely figured out. But staying at the uni equalled an incredibly low pay. So when I was offered several times as much, I gave up. I don’t think I regret. It was a very dark stuff, like looking into the Abyss...
