Ludwig Wittgenstein is a writer I admire.
His writings have opened my eyes to finally see words for what they are.
Thanks to him I now see beyond the shadow of a doubt…
- Words have a story to be told — the story of words.
- In the beginning is the word
- You is no exception
- Words have no organs
- Words have no energy
- Words do not matter
- Words don’t make sense
- The sensational one, the one with the senses, is you.
- A word by any other word is a word
- If you have a word for it, it’s a word
- Words couldn’t be anything else if they tried
- If you know, feel, hear, see, touch, smell, or taste it, it’s a word.
- If it wasn’t a word, you wouldn’t know it.
- Words are how we aim at what we’re looking for.
- What words do to others they can do to you.
- Words are the limits of our worlds, to each their own.
- Words are not our initial means of communication, nor our only.
- What a word is, a sentence cannot say.
- Using words to talk of words is like using a pencil to draw a picture of itself, on itself, impossible.
- When you change how you see words, you change.
- Call words a dream.
- It does not change anything.
On that, my friend, I give you my word.
Words come and go but the present is eternal
Words come and go but the present is here to stay.
The here and now is all we have.
“The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein
Don’t understand the meaning of Ludwig’s quote?
Then I invite you to compare the present to what is not the present — the past and the future.
- The past — you were breathing yesterday — you remember.
- The future — you’ll breathe tomorrow — you imagine.
- The present — you’re breathing — you know.
Knowledge exists only now.
That means now is eternal — because knowledge also is.
And now lasts forever+1 day — bursting with magic and infinite opportunities.
You deserve to experience the eternal present now.
All it takes is a decision.
A decision you alone can make, nobody else can make for you.
