<< That is a question of Bildung ! The odd, old ways of thinking are
repressive, they lock out things, they lock out multiplicity.
One culture, one trait, one habit, one religion, one God !
That is in Nietzsches' terms, the absurdity of our all causal thinking.
We don 't know why and how something goes wrong, but we want to
know !
The will to know is the cause for the seduction to know, but just in
that fact we loose our ways.
All what can go wrong is not seen as purely abstractions but as real,
living enteties with which we must fight.
Everything what goes your way, you must cherish, be nice to, protect,
care for, love.
Again, those things are not yours. Those things state facts, cherish ex-
pectations, put forward suggestions, doubts and burdens, give their
meaning, does have reactions upon those of others,... but those do
not have to come from ' you '_ those are your ' memes ' !
And again, according to Nietzsche, " the one who chooses the style,
does not only choose the words, but also the thoughts ".
Regards,
Kenneth
