Pour un être conscient, exister consiste à changer, changer à se mûrir, se mûrir à se créer indéfiniment soi-même.

شاهدو الحياة كمتفرج لامبالٍ : الكثير من المآسي تتحول إلى كوميديا

Henri Bergson


Go to quote


A situation is always comic if it participates simultaneously in two series of events which are absolutely independent of each other, and if it can be interpreted in two quite different meanings.

Henri Bergson

The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.

Henri Bergson

Might not certain vices have the same relation to character that the rigidity of a fixed idea as to intellect? Whether as a moral kink or a crooked twist given to the will, vice has often the appearance of a curvature for the soul. Doubtless there are vices into which the soul plunges deeply with all its pregnant potency, which it rejuvenates and drags along with it into a moving circle of reincarnations. Those are tragic vices. But the vice capable of making us comic is, on the contrary, that which is brought from without, like a ready-made frame into which we are to step. It lends us its own rigidity instead of borrowing from us our flexibility. We do not render it more complicated; on the contrary, it simplifies us. Here, as we shall see later in the concluding section of this study, lies the essential difference between comedy and drama. A drama, even when portraying passions or vices that bear a name, so completely incorporates them that the person is forgotten, their general characteristics effaced, and we no longer think of them at all, but rather of the person in whom they are assimilated; hence, the title of a drama can seldom be anything else than a proper noun. On the other hand, many comedies have a common noun as their title: L'Avare, Le Joueur etc.

When it is said that an object occupies a large space in the soul or even that it fills it entirely, we ought to understand by this simply that its image has altered the shade of a thousand perceptions or memories, and that in this sense it pervades them, although it does not itself come into view.

Henri Bergson


Go to quote


Yaşama tüm ciddiliğini bizim özgürlüğümüz kazandırır. Olgunlaştırdığımız duygular, içimizde gizlediğimiz tutkular, karar verip uyguladığımız eylemler; kısacası, bizden gelen, tümüyle bizim olan şeyler. İşte yaşama kimi zaman dramatik, genellikle de ciddi bir hava veren bunlardır. Bütün bunları komedyaya dönüştürmek için ne gereklidir. O görünürdeki özgürlüğümüzün altında iplerden oluşan bir düzeneğin yattığını ve bizlerin, ozanın dediği gibi, şu ölümlü dünyada,

...İpleri yazgının elinde
Zavallı kuklalar

olduğumuzu düşünmek gereklidir. Öyleyse düş gücünün bu basit imgeyi çağrıştırarak komiğe kadar götürmeyeceği hiçbir gerçek, ciddi, hatta dramatik sahne yoktur. Önü bu kadar geniş bir alana açık olan bir oyun da yoktur.

Henri Bergson

Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks.

Henri Bergson


Go to quote


Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.

Henri Bergson
