From the moment when he catches sight of the light of the world, a man seeks to find out himself and get hold of himself out of its confusion, in which he, with everything else, is tossed about in motley mixture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort.
In opposition to this detachment, he finds an image of man which contains within itself man's dreams, man's illness, man's redemption from the misery of poverty - poverty which can no longer be for him a sign of the acceptance of life.
A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.
Man lives in a world of surmise, of mystery, of uncertainties.
Man is a universe within himself.
The subject of an outsider who becomes obsessed.
Where the mind goes, the man follows.
Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Man lives in a world of meaning.
