The hatred of air for air. The sky’s hatred of the sky. The earth’s self-hatred. Existence’s shame. Existence’s guilt. The sin of all things, before God.
Transcendental sin. Absolute sin. That things were at all! That things were and immediately fell! That the Fall was the beginning, pretty much. That things could only even fall, near-immediately and at once.
Self-hatred in all things. Which is also a prayer. A prayer not to be what they are.
All of creation longs for restitution, according to the Kabbalists – to the mending that only humans can perform. All of creation longings for destruction, according to Cicero. To be put out of its misery.
