the future is only an illusion

I am worried that people worry too much about the future. If your new love makes everything an exile, it is because your mind has predetermined that this change is bad. Focusing on the now will eliminate any socially conditioned judgments thus allowing you to make decisions that truly reflect how you feel in any situation.

"Success by the other is a fool's dream pursued at the cost of your dignity"

Someone elses success isn't your own. Seeing someone else pursue their dreams and you just watch may cost you your dignity, like a father and a son. The son makes it, he becomes a lawyer and the father is still the same drunk that he was when the son was growing up but still says that if it weren't for him, his son wouldn't have made it. He sits in a bar drunk and all he does is talk about how he is the one that made it possible for his son to be where he is today. What dignity does he have, watching his son as everyone looks at him and says this man did nothing with his life, is still young and still does nothing for himself but take all of his son's accomplishments as his own, taking credit for what his son worked so hard to achieve. NO DREAM! NO SUCCESS! NO DIGNITY!

"The limits of your world are bordered on all sides by your facility with language."

You are able to do anything you put your mind on. There's no limit, unless what is stopping you is your language. Your desire may be to travel but each time you travel to the same place, it will always be different. You aren't going to experience the same thing more than once. Go to a different country and you will feel like a new born opening its eyes for the very first time. It all depends on how you take things. Not speaking the language of that country will limit you from knowing different things, as well as socializing with others. Its like being in a box, you have no way out, no holes to breathe from, nothing whatsoever. But the only way you are able to find your way out is by following instructions on how to get out of the box. There's a limit to everything in life only if you don't look beyond your measure.

"Memento Mori, Remember you will die."

Death awaits every living thing. In our current time, this kind of thing is always put behind a persons mind. Everyone fears death, no one acknowledges that it is there, we are not a fairy tale immortal, we are mortal. When I think about death, I have already said and spoke the words 'I will die,' and yet when anyone else who attempts to say it, they revise it into 'yes death comes to everyone'. Showing the very fear of death, not accepting it as their end.
In Palermo, Sicily there is a place where the living can be reminded of death. A catacomb filled with these mummified people, that are lay on display for many eras. A priest that takes care of these mummies, he said "People in this generation, come to this place and change, they change of how death is well on its way in the end of the road and people cannot accept it, they turn back from this place' I agree.
This quote "Memento Mori" "Remember you will die" is not meant to put fear, but as a reminder of our mortality and to accept this as our path to living. We grow, we age, we die, death is not a simple something you can disregard, a student said "You are born to die".
