my reality: The Look.

The Look.

'since you sat down, you've convinced me that i don't believe enough, that i'm a chain smoker, that i drink too much, and that i should chop off my tail.'

i laughed.

'have you ever burnt an insect to death?'

no.

what? what else have i convinced you of now?

'that i'm sadistic.'

"but i would walk five hundred miles
and i would walk five hundred more
just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
to fall down at your door."

- five hundred miles, the proclaimers.

"the greatest hazard of all, losing the self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. no other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.

thus possibility seems greater and greater to the self; more and more it becomes possible because nothing becomes actual. eventually everything seems possible, but this is exactly the point at which the abyss swallows up the self. it takes time for each little possibility to become an actuality. eventually, however, the time that should be used for actuality grows shorter and shorter; everything becomes more and more momentary. possibility becomes more and more intensive - but in the sense of possibility, not in the sense of actuality, for the intensive in the sense of actuality means to actualize some of what is possible. the instant something appears to be possible, a new possibility appears, and finally these phantasmagoria follow one another in such rapid succession that it seems as if everything were possible, and this is exactly the final moment, the point at which the individual himself becomes a mirage."
