[transience, liminality, sublimity]

"and I like this idea of spontaneity very much, the fact that's

its all just nothing, things are out there, it means something

went terribly wrong, that what we call creation is a kind of

cosmic imbalance, cosmic catastrophe that things exist by

mistake, and I'm even ready to go to the end and to claim

that the only way to counteract this is to assume the mistake

,and go to the end and we have a name for this its called

love. Isn't love precisely this kind of a cosmic balance? I was

always disgusted with this notion of "I love the world,

universal love", I don't like the world, I don't know, I basically,

I'm somewhere in between "I hate the world" or "I'm

indifferent towards it", but the whole of reality is just it, its

stupid it is out there i don't care about it, love for me is an

extremely violent act, love is not "I love you" at all. love

means I pick out something, and its again this structure of

imbalance. even if this something is just a small detail, a

fragile individual person, I say I love you more than anything

else. In this quite formal sense, love is evil!"
