lacan says that writing is secondary to the spoken language and that the spoken language is closer to the present, to the truth. Derrida claims that the written language must be broken down, because words full of metaphors and such is irrelevant to the truth.
The written language is more tactically and wisely considered than the spoken language. More precisely thought out and pondered upon. A slip of the tongue can produce words not originally meant or unbearably misunderstanding.
I write to please myself. Nothing else. They are mental notes and they will be the only thing i leave behind. I am fulfilled when i write and find joy in producing something with longevity. Something that will outlast even myself. These words are a part of me and will live within me but most of the time, the thoughts get imbedded so deep into the brain, that none of even the bravest excavators can dare dig it out.
I was told stories since a little boy and the way they stay in your mind is amazing. How one thing lingers and others fade deep into the background is surprising to know.
Times are tough and when everything is going wrong, then you have one person to turn to. The person that you can fully trust other than yourself. Fully trusting is something unattainable. You fully trusting oneself is the knowledge of oneself. Even the dirtiest of flaws in a given situation but the thing is, you've never been in every situation and with all the different exponentials and such, it is unworthy to have the fullest of trusts. Just enough to make life easier. Everything has shades. Nothing with definitives. Nothing is right and wrong, just our interpretations of it. But sometimes, its too much for us to care about. There we make lines and laws to make life simpler but that doesn't make it just. Just in our society for the moment and we make it so but it was like that from the beginning. All our thoughts in one egg basket is easy, way too easy to break.
