Summary

This quote suggests that negligence is a destructive force that gradually erodes a person's spirit and undermines their strongest intentions. Just like how rust slowly eats away at metal, negligence eats away at the soul, slowly diminishing one's motivation, determination, and commitment. It implies that neglecting important responsibilities or failing to give proper attention and care can have far-reaching consequences, ultimately weakening the core values and aspirations of an individual.

It's unbearable when someone changes around you. Just imagine that your life partner changes, then it is difficult to cope with. Or your mother. Or your father. They were strong and now they're like a baby - it's not so funny.

Humanity does not suffer from the disease of wrong beliefs but humanity suffers from the contagious nature of the lack of belief. If you have no magic with you it is not because magic does not exist but it is because you do not believe in it. Even if the sun shines brightly upon your skin every day, if you do not believe in the sunlight, the sunlight for you does not exist.

I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accide

I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents. Which is why I like things like cuts and bruises - they're like little flowers. I've always said that if you have a name for something, like 'cut' or 'bruise,' people will automatically be disturbed by it. But when you see the same thing in nature, and you don't know what it is, it can be very beautiful.
