Like moths, we all like to flutter around light.
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
(0 Reviews)

In "The Lost World," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle presents an intriguing exploration of human curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge. The phrase "Like moths, we all like to flutter around light" captures the essence of our fascination with discovery and adventure. Just as moths are irresistibly drawn to light, people are often compelled to seek out new experiences and uncover the mysteries of the world around them. This metaphor reflects our innate desire to explore the unknown, even when it involves risks.

The narrative follows a group of explorers venturing into uncharted territories, driven by their quest for understanding. Their interactions and the challenges they face highlight the dual nature of exploration: the excitement of discovery and the potential dangers that accompany it. Doyle's work reminds us that this pursuit of knowledge can lead to enlightening experiences, shaping our perspectives and ultimately guiding our paths through life.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
