The precaution of a fool


Like committing suicide out of fear of death,  renunciation refuses life for fear of losing it - which,  of course,  one will.

You may as well refuse food for fear of starvation.

So much bad, even stupid advice is accounted wisdom.

Better to have loved and lost?

It is stupid even to ask.

I have been reading Cioran, with whose Buddhist nonsense I lose patience, once in a while.

Or stoic nonsense.

Whichever.
