“Let me take once again a rough parable. Suppose I advertised in the papers that I had a place for any one who was too stupid to be a clerk. Probably I should receive no replies; possibly one. Possibly also (nay, probably) it would be from the one man who was not stupid at all. But suppose I had advertised that I had a place for any one who was too clever to be a clerk. My office would be instantly besieged by all the most hopeless fools in the four kingdoms. To advertise for exceptions is simply to advertise for egoists. To advertise for egoists is to advertise for idiots. It is exactly the bore who does think that his case is interesting. It is precisely the really common person who does think that his case is uncommon. It is always the dull man who does think himself rather wild. To ask solely for strange experiences of the soul is simply to let loose all the imbecile asylums about one's ears.”
― G. K. Chesterton

“there are few souls
who live with their
madness
keeping themselves
alive through all
the trials and
tribulations
they fight
during the day hours
and struggle
all through their life
but they never quit
or opt something else
for every night when
they go to sleep in their bed
they ask and question themselves
and make peace with their mind
they can never betray their soul
there are only few of such souls
alive and out of those few
i know
i’m one of them.
-
(living with madness)”
― Gaurav S Kaintura
