Astitva

To exist and yet be unable to do,
To do and yet be unable to see,
To see and yet be unable to feel,
To feel and yet be unable to touch,
To touch and yet be unable to understand,
To understand and yet be unable to know,
To know and yet be unable to say,
To say and yet be unable to mean,
To mean and yet be unable to be,
To be and yet be unable to exist.

That is the semantics of life.

Vicious cycle and this is the perhaps the vortex life wants us to drown in. There must be a way to break out, to exist.

Maybe, rather than being a vortex that it wants us to drown in, life could just be the cure, the inexpressible liberty that it accords us, to be able to feel without feeling, to know without knowing, to exist without actually existing.
