Part two: prior to figuring out how to move forward Sunday, I felt an acute resentment at God and the world for inflicting such pain on me. I understood, experientially, how a Sade could come to hate the world, hate the idea of Goodness, and subsist entirely on pain and suffering.
Part Three: I am riffing on Nietzsche, of course. But his ideas were incomplete. I would like to propose the following concept: the Philosophy of Unresolved Trauma. If myth precedes philosophy, as I argued some 5 years ago, then trauma, as expressed in myth, in underlying, prerational, unexamined assumptions about the world, also precedes philosophy.
I am going to get this shit figured out, so help me God.
I just worked 16 hard hours, though, and I think that will suffice. I am punchy enough.
