Differences are necessary to understanding the meaning of coexistence. |

Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. |
| C. S. Lewis |
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning. |
| David Lynch |
It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else. |
| Viktor E. Frankl |
For the meaning of life differs from man to man, from day to day and from hour to hour. What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. |
| Daisaku Ikeda |
I firmly believe that the mission of religion in the 21st century must be to contribute concretely to the peaceful coexistence of humankind. |
| Mahmoud Darwish |
Poetry and beauty are always making peace. When you read something beautiful you find coexistence; it breaks walls down. |
| Marian Wright Edelman |
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee. |
| Michael Ignatieff |
Free societies, which allow differences to speak and be heard, and live by intermarriage, commerce, and free migration, and democratic societies, which convert enemies into adversaries and reconcile differences without resort to violence, are societies in which the genocidal temptation is unlikely and even inconceivable. |
| William Hall |
We go on and on about our differences. But, you know, our differences are less important than our similarities. People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not. |
| Harry S Truman |
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences. |

"Today mother died. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure." This alludes to his claim that life is engrossed by the absurd. He believed that the absurd – life being void of meaning, or man's inability to know that meaning if it were to exist – was something that man should embrace. He argued that this crisis of self could cause a man to commit "philosophical suicide"; choosing to believe in external sources that give life (what he would describe as false) meaning. He argued that religion was the main culprit. If a man chose to believe in religion – that the meaning of life was to ascend to heaven, or some similar afterlife, that he committed philosophical suicide by trying to escape the absurd.

i think i get what you're saying. so the insecurity is that love vs nature causes differences in what you want and what you think you want, or should want?

Nouveau riche & vieux riche
"The prejudice can be seen to express the differences between the behaviour that keeps old money (caution, discretion) and that which gains new wealth (aggression, chance-taking)."

The Taboo Against Dealing With Money Issues
Why is it that the literature regarding the psychological meaning of money is so scant? As sated
previously, there is a taboo regarding the subject of money in our society, to which psychotherapists are
not immune. We Americans may complain about taxes, discuss the prospects of Social Security and brag
about the great bargains we found or the killings we made in the stock market, but we seldom discuss
our incomes, our indebtedness or, more general...

Open Mike Eagle's brain was studied using an fMRI to determine the differences of how your brain reacts while freestyling, compared to a rehearsed performance.
