Verbatim

Thank you all!: Crazy, Ramky, TOS and Suvai for your commments and reactions. :ty:


I guess i was in an existential mood when writing the last one :D
I wonder if you think the beginning drags too much, inhibiting the flow of the rest of the poem? :confused2:

The "inability" poem i wrote when i was truly wallowing in the misery of illness....i was like oh, great.... i'm going to end up all weak, morbid and freaky liked Edgar Allan Poe :x I have asthma and so anything i get even a slight cold i'm like a bloody weakling... :( anyways i hope i conveyed my feelings as closely as i could get them.

wow .. how come it comes so naturally to you

WOWOWOWOWOOW .. querida!!!

the last line is "and is" ??

Hey Chevy! :D Thank you for your comments!

nope it's "an is"
-like a present existence or time....so that you cannot exist if there is no place in space or time for you to exist in. (i of course am not arguing this im just expressing)

...it also has to do with the simplest sense of Sartre's existentialism (i'm probably dishonouring the genius of this theory by stating wiki, but i liked this summation of one facet of the philosophy:

"Existence precedes essence: This is a reversal of the Aristotlean premise that essence precedes existence, where man is created to fulfil some telos and life consists of fulfilling that goal. Unlike tools that are created to fulfill a purpose (e.g. a pair of scissors is created for the express purpose of cutting things), Sartrean existentialism argues man exists without purpose, finds himself in the world and defines the meaning of his existence. "

nicely written Queri :clap: I remember Kamal hassan once modifiying Rene descartes' quote by saying that "I Exist, therefore I am" ( I dunno who said it first :mrgreen: ). I even remember the lead character from Ayn Rand's Atlas shrugged describing existentialism in his 2 hour (:shock:) long sermon!!!!

P.S: How do you define the word "circular livings" queri? just curious :D

NM! What a sweet surprise! Thank you for your sweet reply!

Thamizh! Always honoured with your posts and questions i am only too happy to explain (actually i think i like to explain this stuff at times :) )


"circular living beings" are those who have yet to leave the reincarnation cycle...the ones who haven't gained nirvana and still have not realised maya...it's almost by realizing that one exists, that you become again apart of the mortal world...or so i tried to convey :D (not that i believe in one fixed system i think that's why i can mesh the stuff all in one) :P
