Natalie suffered a complete breakdown of her life during this period of her life. Her philosophical works have lost the opportunity to be reprinted in today's fragmented era of reading pictures. Her sick mother died suddenly, her husband cheated and moved to spend time with her new love. Life, and the way the philosophical couple separated is also intoxicating. Her husband took away the works of Immanuel Levinas and Martin Buber that Natalie had marked without permission, which made her more angry than marriage. Many people say that in the messy real life, philosophy is actually useless, but the thinking habits brought by philosophy will enable smart people to have a deeper understanding of the sudden change of life, so Natalie's surprise , Lost, but also calmer than ordinary women. Following the laws of nature, Natalie became a grandmother, and with a new worldly identity, she readily accepted this generational upgrade as she would accept other changes in life. Once dubbed by Natalie as a relic of the dead mother of the weird old black cat, she also has a home. At this stage of her life, she has encountered a lot, but the worst and the best have passed, and there may be other bad things in the future. Or good things, I believe she can handle it calmly.

Things to Come quotes

  • Nathalie Chazeaux: I prefer a text a bit rhapsodic by someone who thinks out of the box over the bland writing of marketing fiends.

  • Nathalie Chazeaux: [quoting Jean-Jacques Rousseau] So long as we desire, we can do without happiness. We expect to achieve it. If happiness fails to come, hope persists, and illusion's charm lasts as long as the passion causing it. Thus, this condition suffices to itself and the anxiety it inflicts is a pleasure which supplants reality, perhaps bettering it. Woe to him who has nothing to desire! He loses everything he owns. We enjoy less what we obtain than what we desire, and are happy only before becoming so.
