Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Oh, I do hope not. History harms hope - alliterative pessimism.
Same day, different life!
Oooo, that last line! Loved it so much!
I realize it's probably not what you intended, but that last line got me thinking about the current conflicts over the teaching of history. Some feel that the teaching of certain histories can be harmful. Others counter that ignorance of history generates false hope. But is even false hope for the future better than cynical acceptance of being doomed to repeat the past?
Oh a nail!! On the head! 💥Great one!
Great haiku!😊
