Highlights
A quote
And then I saw it: Good is logically impossible. And I saw that knowing it is both beautiful and ghastly - like the translucent apparition of a specter. What should we do knowing that good is impossible, when "good" is just a beautiful name for an abstract sculpture, even though, day in, day out, life is being made at the whim of circumstances? Yes, I'm aware the circumstances involving us every morning are usually a little predictable. But sometimes we are also assaulted by unforeseen circumstances - a gale, a deafening fountain, the fray of a fight, and most unexpectedly (draws a gun), an absurd object that comes out of your pocket.
