You think I haven’t thought of this before? It’s the obvious answer. But it’s obvious in the sense that it’s the answer that would most likely be “common sense”. What’s common is the story everyone participates and believes in, so naturally you have this conscious and subconscious/unconscious dichotomy. When I was really struggling with my faith, contributed by Freud and Schopenhauer, I stopped that conversation and just began “talking with myself.” Everything went down hill from that. It wasn’t until I read Heidegger that I began to question “common sense”, the obvious, etc. The philosophical investigation into Being was a lot of jargon that made little sense, but the reminded me of my faith, it was so strong. I kept trying to read being and time not because it was enjoyable or I understood it but it felt right, it felt like something I understood and had neglected. When I understood what Heidegger was saying I finally felt free again, free to wonder, open to the way, the revealing, which is not you, it’s not the world, it’s where you and the world merge. Yet Heidegger was very strictly whipped by a kind explicationism he adopted from Husserl and Aristotle. His Holderin finale and poetic thinking towards the end of his life told me there was something missing. And then came Hegel and Plato. If you’ve read Plato you know. And if you Hegel than you understand. “God is God only so far as he knows himself. his self-knowledge is, further, a self-consciousness in man and man’s knowledge of God, which proceeds to man’s self-knowledge in God.”

A bit of both. Many are found by friends.

I had a shot at love. But I wasted it.

I was a khv robot until college. In college I decided to drink and smoke and party. I met a girl. She wasn't really the party type. But she was beautiful. And I fell in love.

I lost my virginity to her. We were together for three years. Eventuallh I became insecure. I had never loved anyone else... how did I know this was real?

I broke up with her so i could see other people. But no one compares. And not a day goes by that I don't moss her.

She married last year. She met a new boyfriend about six months after we broke up. We talk ocassionally. It is a weird relationship.
