पारिस्थितिक तबाही, यों कहें कि, मनुष्य की सत्ता-पूजा का ही मल-मूत्र है।
Ecological devastation is the excrement, so to speak, of man's power worship.

...एरिच फ्रॉम ने इस बात पर हैरानी जताई कि अधिकांश लोग उस अस्तित्वगत अंतर्विरोध के सामने पागल क्यों नहीं हो जाते, जो एक प्रतीकात्मक स्व (सृष्टि की कालजयी योजना में मनुष्य को असीम महत्व देने वाला प्रतीत होता है) और एक ऐसे शरीर के बीच है जिसकी कीमत बमुश्किल 98 सेंट है।
...Erich Fromm wondered why most people did not become insane in the face of the existential contradiction between a symbolic self, that seems to give man infinite worth in a timeless scheme of things, and a body that is worth about 98¢.

मनुष्य के लिए, सबसे बड़ा रोमांच मृत्यु का सामना करना और दूसरों को उसका ग्रास बनते देख, परमानंद में डूबे हुए, चालाकी से मृत्यु को चुनौती देना है।
For man, maximum excitement is the confrontation of death and the skillful defiance of it by watching others fed to it as he survives transfixed with rapture.

मनुष्य के लिए सच्चा heroism (वीरता) आज भी विरोधाभासों को झेलने की शक्ति है, चाहे वे कितने भी स्पष्ट या निराशाजनक क्यों न लगें।
Genuine heroism for man is still the power to support contradictions, no matter how glaring or hopeless they may seem.

अपराध-बोध हमारे उस जीवन से पैदा होता है जिसे हमने जिया नहीं, जो हमारे भीतर अनछुआ रह गया।

यदि हर कोई एक ही चीज़ के बारे में लगभग एक जैसे झूठ के साथ जीता है, तो उन्हें झूठा कहने वाला कोई नहीं बचता। वे मिलकर अपनी मानसिक स्थिरता स्थापित करते हैं और खुद को सामान्य साबित करते हैं।
If everyone lives roughly the same lies about the same thing, there is no one to call them liars. They jointly establish their own sanity and themselves normal.

यदि प्रेम की वस्तु दैवीय पूर्णता है, तो अपनी नियति को उससे जोड़कर व्यक्ति का अपना स्व ऊँचा उठ जाता है... हमारे सारे अपराध-बोध, डर, और यहाँ तक कि हमारीश्वरता जैसी नश्वरता भी पूर्णता के साथ पूर्ण मिलन में पवित्र हो सकती है।
If the love object is divine perfection, then one's own self is elevated by joining one's destiny to it... All our guilt, fear, and even our mortality itself can be purged in a perfect consummation with perfection itself.

बुराइयों से बचने के अपने प्रयासों में, मानवता दुनिया में इतनी बुराई लाने के लिए ज़िम्मेदार है जितनी कोई भी जीवधारी केवल अपनी पाचन क्रिया का उपयोग करके कभी नहीं कर सकता था। यह हमारी चतुराई ही है, न कि हमारा पशु स्वभाव, जिसने हमारे साथी जीवों को इतनी कड़वी earthly (सांसारिक) विडंबना दी है।
In seeking to avoid evil, humanity is responsible for bringing more evil into the world than organisms could ever do merely by exercising their digestive tracts. It is our ingenuity, rather than our animal nature, that has given our fellow creatures such a bitter earthly fate.

मुझे लगता है कि जीवन को गंभीरता से लेने का मतलब कुछ ऐसा है: कि इस ग्रह पर मनुष्य जो कुछ भी करे, उसे सृष्टि के आतंक, विरूपता, और हर चीज़ के नीचे सुगबुगाते डर के जीवंत सत्य के साथ किया जाना चाहिए। वरना वह सब झूठा है। जो भी हासिल किया जाए, वह जुनून, दृष्टि, दर्द, डर और दुःख के पूर्ण अभ्यास के साथ हासिल किया जाना चाहिए। हम कैसे जान सकते हैं कि ब्रह्मांड के अर्थ में हमारा हिस्सा दुःख का ही एक ताल (लय) न हो?
I think that taking life seriously means something such as this: that whatever man does on this planet has to be done in the lived truth of the terror of creation, of the grotesque, of the rumble of panic underneath everything. Otherwise it is false. Whatever is achieved must be achieved with the full exercise of passion, of vision, of pain, of fear, and of sorrow. How do we know, that our part of the meaning of the universe might not be a rhythm in sorrow?

यह विडंबनापूर्ण और नियति का खेल है कि जिस झूठ के सहारे हम जीना चाहते हैं, वही झूठ हमें एक ऐसे जीवन के लिए अभिशप्त कर देता है जो कभी वास्तव में हमारा होता ही नहीं।
It is fateful and ironic how the lie we need in order to live dooms us to a life that is never really ours.

आदमी सचमुच दो हिस्सों में बंटा हुआ है: वह अपनी उस शानदार विशिष्टता को लेकर सचेत है जो उसे प्रकृति में एक बुलंद शान के साथ सबसे अलग खड़ा करती है, और फिर भी वह हमेशा के लिए चुपचाप और अंधी तरह से सड़ने और मिट जाने के लिए चंद फीट ज़मीन के नीचे दफ़्न हो जाता है।
Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order blindly and dumbly to rot and disappear forever.

मौرت को न नकारने और खुद को एक महानायक के रूप में देखने की इंसान की स्वाभाविक और अनिवार्य इच्छा ही इंसानी बुराइयों की जड़ है।
Man's natural and inevitable urge to deny mortality and achieve a heroic self-image are the root causes of human evil.

आधुनिक इंसान अपनी सुध-बुध खोने के लिए शराब और नशों का सहारा ले रहा है, या फिर अपना सारा वक्त खरीदारी करने में बिता रहा है, जो कि बात एक ही है।

एक बार जब आप अपने पूरे जीवन का संघर्ष किसी एक निराशाजनक झूठ पर टिका लेते हैं, और उस झूठ को जीने की कोशिश करते हैं, तो आप खुद अपने विनाश का इंतज़ाम कर रहे होते हैं।

आसानी से युद्ध में कूद पड़ने का एक मुख्य कारण यह है कि हर सिपाही अपने बगल में खड़े उस साथी के लिए दुखी महसूस करता है जो मरने वाला है
One of the main reasons that it is so easy to march men off to war is that each of them feels sorry for the man next to him who will die.

कलाकार दुनिया को अपने भीतर उतारता है, लेकिन उससे दबने के बजाय, वह उसे अपने व्यक्तित्व के सांचे में ढालता है और कलाकृति के रूप में उसका पुनर्सृजन करता है।

मानव स्वभाव के सनक की ओर झुके छोर वाले लोगों की रचनात्मकता उस रचनात्मकता से उपजी है जो अनुभव की वास्तविक प्रकृति के बारे में संस्कृति के तयशुदा और रूढ़ नकारों को स्वीकार करने में असमर्थ है। और इस तरह की लगभग "अति-मानवीय" रचनात्मकता की कीमत पागलपन के मुहाने पर जीना है, जैसा कि लोग लंबे समय से जानते आए हैं।
The creativity of people on the schizophrenic end of the human continuum is a creativity that springs from the inability to accept the standardized cultural denials of the real nature of experience. And the price of this kind of almost "extra human" creativity is to live on the brink of madness, as men have long known.

बुराई का सबसे बड़ा कारण एक ही विशाल विरोधाभास में तमाम मानवीय प्रेरणाओं को समेट लेता है। अच्छाई और बुराई इस हद तक आपस में गुंथे हुए हैं कि हम उन्हें अलग नहीं कर सकते; बुराई अच्छाई की ओर ले जाती दिखती है, और अच्छे इरादे बुराई की ओर ले जाते हैं। विरोधाभास यह है कि बुराई, बुराई पर एक वीरतापूर्ण विजय पाने की इंसान की छटपटाहट से पैदा होती है।
The greatest cause of evil included all human motives in one giant paradox. Good and bad were so inextricably mixed that we couldn't make them out; bad seemed to lead to good, and good motives led to bad. The paradox is that evil comes from man's urge to heroic victory over evil.

मृत्यु का विचार, इसका भय, इंसानी जीव को किसी और चीज़ की तरह डराता रहता है; यह इंसानी गतिविधियों का मुख्य आधार है - जिसे मुख्य रूप से मृत्यु की अनिवार्यता से बचने के लिए, इस बात को किसी तरह नकार कर उस पर पार पाने के लिए गढ़ा गया है कि मौत ही इंसान की अंतिम नियति है।
The idea of death, the fear of it, haunts the human animal like nothing else; it is a mainspring of human activity - designed largely to avoid the fatality of death, to overcome it by denying in some way that it is the final destiny of man.

इंसानी फितरत का विरोधाभास यह है कि उसकी सबसे गहरी ज़रूरत मौत और सर्वनाश के डर से आज़ाद होना है; लेकिन जीवन ही वह चीज़ है जो इस डर को जगाती है, और इसलिए हमें पूरी तरह से जीवंत होने से कतराना पड़ता है।
The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.

रचनात्मक स्वभाव वाले व्यक्ति की चाबी यह है कि वह साझा अर्थों के आम दायरे से अलग होता है। उसके जीवन के अनुभव में कुछ ऐसा होता है जो दुनिया को एक समस्या के रूप में देखता है; जिसके परिणामस्वरूप उसे इसका कोई व्यक्तिगत अर्थ निकालना ही पड़ता है।
The key to the creative type is that he is separated out of the common pool of shared meanings. There is something in his life experience that makes him take in the world as a problem; as a result he has to make personal sense out of it.

वास्तविक दुनिया स्वीकार करने के लिए बहुत ज़्यादा भयानक है। यह इंसान से कहती है कि वह एक छोटा सा कांपता हुआ जीव है जो एक दिन सड़ जाएगा और मर जाएगा। संस्कृति इस सब को बदल देती है, इंसान को महत्वपूर्ण, ब्रह्मांड के लिए अहम और कुछ मायनों में अमर प्रतीत कराती है

रचनात्मकता की सड़क पागलखाने के इतने करीब से गुजरती है कि अक्सर वहीं चक्कर खाकर मुड़ जाती है या फिर वहीं खत्म होती है।

जीने का मतलब जीवन के अर्थ का नाटक करना है... इसका निष्कर्ष... हमें एक बार और हमेशा के लिए यह सिखाता है कि बचकानी मूर्खता ही परिपक्व पुरुषों का असली बुलावा है।
To live is to play at the meaning of life...The upshot of this . . . is that it teaches us once and for all that childlike foolishness is the calling of mature men.

हम बेबीलोन के लोगों की तरह ज्योतिषीय चार्ट देखते हैं, रोमनों की तरह सख्त हाथ से अपने बच्चों को अपने ही सांचे में ढालने की कोशिश करते हैं, रानी की एक झलक पाने के लिए दूसरों को कोहनी से धक्का देते हैं, पुरोहितों के सामने पाप स्वीकार करते हैं और चर्च जाते हैं। और हम हैरान होते हैं कि इतने सारे स्रोतों से इतनी सारी ऊर्जा और पूंजी जुटाने के बाद भी, हम अपने जीवन के अर्थ को लेकर इतने गहरे में चिंतित क्यों हैं। इसकी वजह बिल्कुल साफ है: इनमें से कोई भी, या इन सबको एक साथ मिला लें, एक ऐसी एकीकृत विश्व-दृष्टि पेश नहीं करता जिसमें हम पूरी श्रद्धा और विश्वास के साथ खुद को ढाल सकें।
We consult astrology charts like the Babylonians, try to make our children into our own image with a firm hand like the Romans, elbow others to get a breath-quickening glimpse of the queen in her ritual procession, and confess to the priests and attend church. And we wonder why, with all this power capital drawn from so many sources, we are deeply anxious about the meaning of our lives. The reason is plain enough: none of these, nor all of them taken together, represents an integrated world conception into which we fit ourselves with pure belief and trust.

हम कह सकते हैं कि कलाकार और विक्षिप्त दोनों ही अपनी क्षमता से ज़्यादा बड़ा निवाला मुंह में डाल लेते हैं, लेकिन कलाकार उसे उगल देता है और एक वस्तुगत रूप में, एक बाहरी, सक्रिय कार्य-प्रोजेक्ट के रूप में उस पर दोबारा विचार करता है।
We might say that both the artist and theneurotic bite off more than they can chew, but the artist spews it back out again and chews it over in an objectified way, as an external, active, work project.

स्वयं को जानने वाले प्राणी होने का क्या अर्थ है? यह विचार हास्यास्पद है, यदि यह भयानक नहीं है। इसका अर्थ यह जानना है कि कोई कीड़ों का भोजन है।

स्वयं को जानने वाले प्राणी होने का क्या अर्थ है? यह विचार हास्यास्पद है, यदि यह भयानक नहीं है। इसका अर्थ यह जानना है कि कोई कीड़ों का भोजन है। खौफ यह है: शून्यता से बाहर आना, एक नाम होना, आत्म-बोध होना, गहरे भीतरी एहसास, जीवन और आत्म-अभिव्यक्ति के लिए एक तीव्र भीतरी तड़प होना और इन सबके बावजूद मर जाना। यह किसी धोखे जैसा लगता है, यही वजह है कि एक खास तरह का सांस्कृतिक इंसान खुलकर ईश्वर के विचार के खिलाफ बगावत करता है। आखिर किस तरह की देवता ऐसी जटिल और फैंसी कीड़ों की खुराक बनाएगा?
What does it mean to be a self-conscious animal? The idea is ludicrous, if it is not monstrous. It means to know that one is food for worms. This is the terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consiousness of self, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self-expression and with all this yet to die. It seems like a hoax, which is why one type of cultural man rebels openly against the idea of God. What kind of deity would crate such a complex and fancy worm food?

What is the ideal for mental health, then? A lived, compelling illusion that does not lie about life, death, and reality; one honest enough to follow its own commandments: I mean, not to kill, not to take the lives of others to justify itself.

인간은 이 중립적인 세상 속에서 스스로 의미를 만들어내고 삶의 돌파구를 찾아야 하는 유일한 동물임을 깨달을 때, 비로소 우리는 사랑의 본질을 이해하게 됩니다. 사랑이란 존재의 이유를 찾고, 온전한 나 자신을 경험하기 위해 세상과 끊임없이 대화를 나누어야 하는 인간이 마주하는 문제입니다.
When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

개인적인 사랑과 거창한 영웅주의를 혼동하면 두 가지 모두 실패할 수밖에 없습니다. 영웅주의가 불가능해지면 그것이 진정한 사랑이라 할지라도 결국 흔들리게 됩니다. 이러한 이중의 실패가 바로 현대인에게서 볼 수 있는 극심한 절망감을 낳는 원인입니다... 따라서 사랑은 일종의 종교적 문제로 여겨집니다.
When you confuse personal love and cosmic heroism you are bound to fail in both spheres. The impossibility of the heroism undermines the love, even if it is real. This double failure is what produces the sense of utter despair that we see in modern man... Love, then, is seen a religious problem

어째서 어떤 이들은 진정한 가능성 대신 죄책감, 무가치함, 무능함, 심지어 불명예와 배신이라는 비난을 기꺼이 택하는 걸까요? 이것이 선택의 문제처럼 보이지 않을지 모르지만, 사실은 그렇습니다. 한편으로는 완전한 자기 말살, '타인'에 대한 항복, 그리고 그 어떤 개인적 존엄이나 자유의 포기가 있고, 다른 한편으로는 자유와 독립, 타인으로부터의 도약, 그리고 가족과 사회적 의무라는 얽매인 고삐로부터의 해방이 있습니다. 이것이 우울증을 앓는 사람이 실제로 직면하는 선택입니다.
Why would a person prefer the accusations of guilt, unworthiness, ineptitude — even dishonor and betrayal — to real possibility? This may not seem to be the choice, but it is: complete self-effacement, surrender to the “others,” disavowal of any personal dignity or freedom — on the one hand; and freedom and independence, movement away from the others, extrication of oneself from the binding links of family and social duties-on the other hand. This is the choice that the depressed person actually faces.
