Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship
The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus — Joseph Wright of Derby
The value of one is often defined by what they do. The output of one’s work is not necessarily what makes it worthy. It is -like many other things- relative; some people consider a certain act heroic, while another group of people would deem it brute and evil. Who has the final word? In the ever-miserable pursuit of illusory perpetual happiness, people can so easily adapt to committing certain actions they’d never do -willingly- if given the chance—just for all types of outcomes.

Even “Nothing” would be fair

Even “Nothing” would be fair
Burgruine mit zwei kreisenden Adlern — Arnold Böcklin

To the Roots (Reason)
The Valdivian Temperate Forests​ — Neil Burnell
Everyone has their own reasons not to put an end to their lives. These reasons often are why many people actually consider putting an end to their life! Ironic and objectively sad. A marksman that mistakes a shadow for a prey sleeps his evenings with neither arrows nor a supper. Everything that lives refrains from pain. We live our whole lives trying to keep the comfort/discomfort ratio balanced. A “pursuit of happiness” is a façade for an “escape from agony”.
