Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German.

It is coming. A vast war. A war no citizen of any country can stop, except those who are supposed to represent citizens. It will be war to buttress the next few hundred years of nation-state politics; it is a defining moment in world history. <br/><br/>It has been boiling for millenia, simmering for the last few generations, and shall be a meal for the masses who have t.v. Or who experience causalities. <br/><br/>It is the only avenue left for peace. <br/><br/>Who is to say that a multi-nation state war based on economics, religion and politics is a bad thing? <br/><br/>It could lead to the destruction of those conditions that created such misery and death.<br/><br/>It could lead to humanity. <br/><br/>But then again, should humanity be a growing process? Are we still infantile?<br/><br/>Maybe every soldier who serves in the name of their country is a modern day Christ. Perhaps we have replaced Christ, an individual who sacrificed for the sake of humanity, for those individuals who fight for a nation-state. It is a degredation of ideals. <br/><br/>Perhaps people are too colored by their immediate culture and responsibilities to notice the suffering of humanity. <br/><br/>Perhaps they're not allowed to care. <br/><br/>Perhaps there's not enough time to make an effort to care.<br/><br/>But who needs wisdom or hope when war is the answer and motivation to peace. <br/><br/>Individuals have allowed their power to be consolidated into a handful of humans who manipulate perception for their own individual ends. <br/><br/>Is it those few who bear responsibility? Or is it just foolish to believe that one human can represent another? <br/><br/>Is the upcoming war good to find the solution for humanity or is it just another folly of a stupid species?<br/><br/>What is the solution? <br/><br/>What is the end to all this silliness?

Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled and it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven-only you. It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says nothing good came of this is not yet listening.

It's full of depressing details about the children's lives,.. And, I'm sorry to say, it's the longest in the series. So in terms of total misery, it's quite a lot to deal with well, both in terms of the number of pages and the amount of misery per page.

Certainly after the last four games against Ottawa there is misery but the majority of the year there was winning. Any time you're playing baseball, golf or hockey and you're winning, there is a lot of sense of satisfaction and enjoyment.

I really did not think a thing about playing five black players to start the game -- they were our best players and deserved to start. But if I knew all the misery it was going to cause me in the weeks following the game, I'd have thought long and hard about it. The players from Kentucky were gracious about it, but many of their fans and people from other parts of the country did not want to see it.

There is no way that increased gas prices at the pump could have been reflected in two days after the hurricane with spikes of 30 to 50 cents per gallon,.. It is shameful and unconscionable that these oil companies are making profits off people's misery with this hurricane.

People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.

Wonderful art can spring from misery,I'm the last person to deny that.I'd go even further: the best works of art of all time are probably stemmed from the deep human sorrow or hellish frustration, the death of a loved one or a divorce and yes: jealousy. Heartache and impotence as the man-spring for making the unverifiable verifiable and for giving it face. How romantic, beautiful and especially useful pain and misery can be.

It's an insidious idea, this notion that there is life after death. The promise of a reward in the afterlife has been used as an excuse to deny help to the poor, helpless and oppressed; to explain away human misery rather than deal with it. It is an idea that is used to encourage young men and women to kill themselves, and others, so that they can become martyrs. It allows victims of injustice to be told not to worry because justice will be done in the afterlife. It depresses me to think that so many people on the planet live their lives with this notion. Can we truly fulfill our potential as a species as long as we hold on to, and encourage, the perpetuation of the lie of life after death?

There is quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life and there is no need for meeting it unnecessarily in fiction. As Police Commissioner it was my duty to deal with all kinds of squalid misery and hideous and unspeakable infamy, and I should have been worse than a coward if I had shrunk from doing what was necessary; but there would have been no use whatever in my reading novels detailing all this misery and squalor and crime, or at least in reading them as a steady thing. Now and then there is a powerful but sad story which really is interesting and which really does good; but normally the books which do good and the books which healthy people find interesting are those which are not in the least of the sugar-candy variety, but which, while portraying foulness and suffering when they must be portrayed, yet have a joyous as well as a noble side.
