“Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute , and yet is relative ….” T.S. Eliot
Life Is Paradox The Greeks were all 'so let's deduce' always they were thinking, taking positions, offering steps, savouring ideas, talking concretely, and then going around again and again, until they came to the how, yet always dead ending in a reductio ad absurdum, racing straight past the house of feeling, jilting Sophia, never understanding paradox, constructing lives without bends, erasing corners and holes, sweating thoughts, resisting feeling, forgetting that life is in the margins.

This is an interesting way of looking at the Greeks.

Clever but no right brain and too suspicious of feeling.

Tru dat. I see everything as relative and conclusions as possibilities but almost always as ideals as a general direction, yet it could very well be in the opposite direction. I can see why they got headaches in trying to reason everything out.

I learned to my chagrin that logic, right reason, and good sense won’t solve everything.
