Summary
#1377 – 12/21:
Notes by TK
The discontinuity between awakened intelligence and ordinary is perfectly exemplified by belligerents in a conflict desiring an end of strife but unable to answer the question “Why don’t you just stop?” Note that the question never even arises, and if it could, would never produce the silence of understanding, but only the commotion of name-calling and finger-pointing attempts to shift blame.
The only proper verbal response: “I just can’t,” or “I don’t know”. Intellectual life would cease if debate ceased. What is resolved, concluded disappears, is life spent. All talk goes nowhere for man, but through it/him Life itself evolves. When the ordinary hear gunshots (or words), they can’t help but feel they’re aimed at somebody.
