Life

Our affair is very wordy, isn’t it, philosopher? And it’s me talking, mostly.

Our affair is thoroughly literary … It’s characterised by a standing apart from it all. From life. We’re not part of anything, are we?

What should we be part of?

Life – just life.

Is that easy? I don’t think it’s easy.

Part of life … I don’t think that’s an option for us. As humans, I mean. When we fuck …

When we fuck, what?

Is that life? It’s not life. I don’t know what that word means. Life: I say it to myself, and I know less and less. What is life? Like we know how to live. Like we know what to do.

That’s the problem: we don’t know what to do. So we’re here, obeying our … instincts. Did instincts lead us here? Are instincts to blame? God, what are we? What animals. Animals plus what? Rationality? Language? God ….

God, the human condition’s so disappointing, isn’t it?
