More From Antonio Porchia

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. a balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. a balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.
Balance Example Borders
The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or god-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. to such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. so some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches; some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground.

The really important facts were that spatial relationships had ceased to matter very much and that my mind was perceiving the world in terms of other than spatial categories. at ordinary times the eye concerns itself with such problems as where? — how far? — how situated in relation to what? in the mescaline experience the implied questions to which the eye responds are of another order. place and distance cease to be of much interest. the mind does its perceiving in terms of intensity of existence, profundity of significance, relationships within a pattern.

I look to islamic ethics to find something that can provide the basis for shared values with other traditions, and ultimately universal values. this ties into the point i made in a book, 'the quest for meaning', that the only way for values to be universal is if they are shared universal values. my main point is, in this quest for value the aim is not to express your distinctness from others, but about being able to contribute to the discussion of universal value.

This fact was something i also learned from this first novel that i needed personal experience to invent, to fantasize, to create fiction, but at the same time i needed some distance, some perspective on this experience in order to feel free enough to manipulate it and to transform it into fiction. if the experience is very close, i feel inhibited. i have never been able to write fiction about something that has happened to me recently. if the closeness of the real reality, of living reality, is to have a persuasive effect on my imagination, i need a distance, a distance in time and in space.
Real Distance Writing
This part of optics, when well understood, shows us how we may make things a very long distance off appear as if placed very close, and large near things appear very small, and how we may make small things placed at a distance appear any size we want, so that it may be possible for us to read the smallest letters at incredible distances, or to count sand, or seed, or any sort or minute objects.
