A curiously interested observer sees a great deal, a scientifically interested observer is worthy of all honor, and anxiously interested observer sees what others do not see, but a crazy observer sees perhaps the most, his observation is more intense and more persistent, just as the senses of certain animals are sharper than those of man.

The terminology of philosophical art is coercive: arguments are powerful and best when they are knockdown, arguments force you to a conclusion, if you believe the premisses you have to or must believe the conclusion, some arguments do not carry much punch, and so forth. a philosophical argument is an attempt to get someone to believe something, whether he wants to beleive it or not. a successful philosophical argument, a strong argument, forces someone to a belief.

When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. you, o worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.

It seems to me that you are solving a problem which goes beyond the limits of physiology in too simple a way. physiology has realized its problem with fortitude, breaking man down into endless actions and counteractions and reducing him to a crossing, a vortex of reflex acts. let it now permit sociology to restore him as a whole. sociology will wrest man from the anatomical theatre and return him to history.

I know this simple fact to be true, for i myself have abandoned people who did not want me to go, and i myself have been abandoned by those whom i begged to stay.
