You are in good company. No less an intellect than Nietzsche was a strong supporter of the power and value of aphorisms (memes) in communicating ideas. This form aligns with his belief in economy of language and the idea that truth is better expressed in sharp, striking formulations rather than in elaborate treatises.
Special shout-out to myself, trying to make translated Italian aphorisms happen: 'I fell like a cooked pear' 'They don't have enough salt in their pumpkin' 'Wolves' weather' 'I gave him bread for focaccia'.

Lol, Nietzsche would have been a twitter God.
Also, God is dead (but cats are eternal). 😅
Killed it!
I'm going to come back to this whenever I need to LOL.
Excellent aphorisms. And spot on too, especially the Terminator one.

😂 These are excellent. I will try and use them with zero understanding of context or where they are used. Please share more.
Interestingly there is a Tamil aphorism that's very similar: The Bottlegourd curry doesn't have enough salt.
please make of these what you wish !! XD life is too serious and the bottlegourd curry doesn't have enough salt indeed.
