ABSTRACT

Written by a man who patently has more than a nodding acquaintance with the void, from his felt experience rather than from a theoretical point of view, this short painful piece highlights aspects of the void experience. There is so much that must be accepted, all these paradoxes, fate, our ineffectuality, and our humanness as opposed to godlike-ness. Dimitri describes elsewhere (private communication) that this piece of writing contains "the logic of our futility" and, further, "that if you put two individuals in the same situation with the same outcome the one will emerge feeling desperate and the other with a renewed determination to try yet again". Written by a man who patently has more than a nodding acquaintance with the void, from his felt experience rather than from a theoretical point of view, this short painful piece highlights aspects of the void experience.
