Waltz with Heidegger, and Duet

He said. Everyone is meant to be in the world as not able to be and properly able to not be. They all end up passing into non-being and staying there, except for being remembered by other people who use statues of those who have disappeared to reassure themselves in the insecurity they don't want to admit they share with the rest of us. How to be in this world is a question that only has itself for an answer. Anxious people are not sure they can handle this, depressed people are sure they cannot, and armies of therapeutic helpers are sure that they can sustain profitable enterprises by pretending that these problems can be solved. But they cannot be, and the targets of these curative practices are also known to be beyond helping, which keeps them profitably coming back for more and usually not daring to do anything unexpected. What do you about this, make art, politics, or love out of it? Yes. That doesn't solve the problem, but it might do something better and more appropriate given the situation as I have described it: the potentiality to be for us human beings is a way of relating to the potentiality to not be and the utter untenability, unsolvability, and unjustifiability of the desire to be, and to be something and not nothing. We are a point of view on a something that exists as its inability to not be the nothing.

She said. Are you having fun on your writing tablet? I’m going to dry up already just listening to you go on playing with yourself.
