I am

I.
To move in all directions qua knowing presents the imminent consequence of epistemic relativism.
But the fact that it appears that we can extend from a base, presents ontological imminence as well.
I believe.
So it is not that:
Since things can be known in many different ways they become difference in themselves, or meaninglessness, otherwise a lack of a hold on what can really be.
Things more accurately contain a multitudinality in themselves, at once containing a singular essence and hinging in all directions in relationality.
So, it is that:
What there really is, is what is being known, regardless of how many ways it can be known.
And this appears to be stratified, holographic, fluid, and changing.
Again, the more useful conclusion is that something most definitely is.
Descartes doubt of things was thus not the best way to approach our deep questions.
Faith is.

II.
It is too bad though, because a long time ago, when he lost to love, and couldn’t let go, the narrator sold his soul, just to let go .

Big words; but I like the conclusion.

i agree with sarachka. wordy, but real-ish. yet i still have no clue what "qua" means.

however, i tend to disagree with the conclusion, in that i don't believe in a self-imposed "my heart is dead" life sentence.

this is a rather fatalist position, especially from someone who argues that we are all ultimately responsible for our own destiny/choices/outcome. by your own logic, living in a "lost soul" condition is one's own choice, whereas your writing here seems to posit that some inexorable cosmic force called "love" owns your soul, and is refusing to release it.

as i see it, these two positions present an untenable contradiction.

(so here i'm taking issue with yr personal philosophies rather than your writing, per se...)
