are distributed in an irregular fashion through the integers;but if one performs a spectral analysis of this distribution, one can discern certain long-term oscillations in the distribution(sometimes known as the music of the primes),the frequencies of which are described by a sequence of complex numbers known as the(nontrivial)zeroes of the Riemann zeta function,first studied by Bernhard Riemann in 1859." — Sep 16, 2016 10:58PM

"You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom." — Mar 10, 2019 03:54PM

“Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.
"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”
