Empty space, quite a challenge to the human mind.
I try, like anyone else, to populate it with meanings.
A sense of purpose, perhaps?
I live an urban life, an environment absorbed by the ocean of opinions and platforms to communicate them.
So many that it feels like a dense haze enveloping everything slowly.
I often escape a world devoid of meanings.
Perhaps human curiosity, or a need for a bit of clarity, focus my mind on a different world.
A world that silently provides me with habitable conditions and the oxygen I need in every breath I take.
Meanings are like stories. Sometimes they fade away; other times, they assume lives independently, acquiring all attributes of a “staying power.”
If the world is indeed meaningful, transcending ideas need more common platforms of exchange outside of the individual, or interest group, influence.
“The painter constructs, the photographer discloses.”
