"The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"
English proverb
"Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick sucession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass!
The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass!
Milan Kundera
The Aliens
you may not believe it
but there are people
who go through life with
very little
friction or distress.
they dress well, eat well.
they are contented with
their family
life.
they are undisturbed
and often feel
very good.
and when they die
it is an easy death, usually in their
sleep.
you may not believe
it
but such people do
exist.
but i am not one
of them.
oh no, i am not one of them,
i am not even near
to being
one of
them.
but they
are there
and i am
here.
Charles Bukowsky
