I can reflect upon my brain. I must exist in some ineffable space beyond it. The philosopher can't understand how A and not-A can both be true. Doesn't see how "yes and no" is often the most legitimate of answers. Baffles him. Intolerant of paradox. Proud reason. In abstracto. Autonomous. Yielding to no authority outside its own bounds. It will be bound to its confusion for all time. Because it couldn't ever tolerate ambiguity. How she lived here, so will she live hereafter. Vain trusting in yourself and your own abilities to figure out life. Make strides and connections, but the totality you will never understand. Try some more. There's no solid ground for your idle meanders. Thoughts astray. They come back upon you again and again. They're always gonna come back to you. Until you believe. I apologize if you read this poop. |
This is disanalogous. The eye can't reflect upon itself. The mind reflects upon the eye because it is something other than the eye. The mind reflects upon its brain as well--the mind cannot be identical to the brain as it is over and above it.
Do you love her? Well, yes and no. Is the sky blue? Physics taken into consideration, yes and no. Is life difficult? Yes and no. Am I a kind person? Yes and no. Is money the root of all evil? Yes and no. ESSENTIALLY, I RAMBLE. lol.
