-In this world there are only two things that can be considered truly absolute: God, who beyond the Christian vision, can be considered and understood as everything existing whether material or spiritual, every possible event or already realized; and the nothing itself (the nihil), the nothingness, absolute nothingness, the absence of absolutely anything and from which we arrive through death.
-All other existing things can only derive from the interaction of these two, for all other things cannot be called "absolute" since they either change over time, or might disappear (die).
-The “force” that “forces” things in this universe to change may be referred to as “time”.
-Time is for the things as water is for the mountains: it degrates everything, slowly, in one way or another. In fact, the erosion that a mountain suffers from rainwater runoff is only one of thousands of feasible examples of how everything changes over time and even ceases to exist.
-The same degradation is suffered by immaterial things: collective thought, personal ideologies, memories, feelings for a certain thing or entity.
-Unlike material degradation, the degradation of immaterial things is not entirely perceptible to our senses, especially when it appears in our lives for the first time (from now on, we will refer to immaterial degradation as “degeneration”).
-It takes a lot of naiveté to believe that it helps to shout and scream in the world, as if one’s fate would thereby be altered. Take what comes and avoid all complications.(Either/Or, Søren Kierkegaard)
