Looked so miffed
When you wished
For a thousand places better than this
When you wished
For a thousand places better than this
I lure myself into damnation, willingly surrendering to whatever leads me to utter misery. Blindly, I follow the path of suffering, tormenting myself without restraint.

“I understand you. You think that pain is bad, that suffering is bad. You think that our way is to go beyond suffering, but there is no end to suffering. When I was young I felt very bad for all the suffering that people have. But now I don’t feel so bad. Now I see suffering as inescapable. Now I see that suffering is beautiful. You must suffer more.”

My dear Wilhelm
The first leisure time in the New Year belongs to you to clasp your hand across these few kilometers and to tell you how glad I was to have your recent news from the family room and study. That you have a son and with him the prospect of other children; as long as the hope for him was still a distant one, I did not want to admit either to you or to myself what you would have missed. Your kind should not die out, my dear friend; the rest of us need people like you too much. How much I owe you: solace, understanding, stimulation in my loneliness, meaning to my life that I gained through you, and finally even health that no one else could have given back to me. It is primarily through your example that intellectually I gained the strength to trust my judgment, even when I am left alone - though not by you and, like you, to face with lofty humility all the difficulties that the future may bring. For all that, accept my humble thanks! I know that you do not need me as much as I need you, but I also know that I have a secure place in your affection.
