After Questions
2018 노트에서 발췌
The moment of sensing a phenomenon and the moment of cognizing its essence never coincide. For we do not live on a single axis of time; physical sensation and mental thought flow in disparate layers of Asynchrony.
The Whole—an absolute aggregate of nature and the cosmos beyond imperfect human perception— acts as a mirror where reality and illusion reflect one another. I strive to face the present before my eyes, yet its substance is always deferred and Delayed. I am tormented by the endless slippage from the essence and the dissonance where things never align, and I am saddened by the fact that I can never arrive at the final meaning, no matter the effort.
Meaning cannot be grasped in the storm of experience; thus, true questioning always arises after the event, in that quiet interval of silence. In those dislocated strata, memories transform, and the self fades like a fleeting glimmer. From this threshold of Extinction, I ask: Towards what Fruit do we exist, and what defines our life?
To grasp the beauty and the light of the spirit scattering into Entropy, I resist oblivion with a deep Pride born of profundity. A record piercing through the deficit of oblivion is the sole passage summoning the delayed past to the present. These fierce traces of life correct the errors of distorted time, and finally Re-construct my raveled Ethos into a solid structure.
