Trouble in the middle
13/07/2024
I’m always torn between two dimensions. One involves my position in this world, its meaninglessness, my mortality, the veil of daily illusions beyond which I always strive to see, with scarse success. The other involves the world as a collectively constituted thing: justice, solidarity, a better future. Laozi and Marx drag me in two opposite directions, figuratively speaking. One denies the truth of the other.
Sometimes I think I have found a balance. A few weeks (or months, or hours) later I find out that, in the effort of satisfying both demands, I have not committed to either.
