Important Truths, according to David @ Raptitude

David at Raptitude has posted a series of Nietzsche-esque aphorisms, most of which (OK --- all of which) are real gems.

Each one is worthy of serious reflection, but due to the word limit of Clipmarks (and because David wrote these, not me --- you must visit Raptitude for the whole shebang), I've only been able to post a sample.

Whenever you hate something, it hates you back: people, situations and inanimate objects alike. 25. Putting something off makes it instantly harder and scarier. 27. Nobody knows more than a minuscule fraction of what’s going on in the world. It’s just way too big for any one person to know it well. 32. The greatest innovation in the history of humankind is language. 34. Everyone you meet is better than you at something. 35. Proof is nothing but a collection of opinions that match one’s own. 38. What makes human beings different from animals is that animals can be themselves with ease. 40. Whoever you are, you will die. To know and understand that means you are alive. 43. Almost every cliché contains a truth so profound that people have been compelled to repeat it until it makes you roll your eyes. But the wisdom is still in there.
