thoughts on our original three choices...

The first is about memory, the second about truth, and the third is about love (or pain). We have philosophically come full circle with our ponderings. And I smile because regardless of how much effort we put into taking novel and daring approaches, in the end we always come back ourselves--that is, the persons we are. In this case, it is the fact that we feel most comfortable with a theoretical resolution based on grand notions that intrigues me. I see that although we want to be broader in our conceptualizations we do not want to let go of some source of stability, which theory provides for us at the moment. Experiences and feelings come and go and interpretations of them change constantly but things grounded in reason and history not so much.
