Bio: "As for me, Oh Brahma, I see this great earth, with its highs and lows, its thorns, its precipices, its peaks, and its abysses, as if it were entirely filled with sh!t." [Vimalakirtinirdesa sutra] ~ ~ ~ "The need to lend a voice to suffering is a condition of all truth. For suffering is objectivity that weighs upon the subject; its most subjective experience, its expression, is objectively conveyed. The freedom of philosophy is nothing but the capacity to lend a voice to its unfreedom." [Theodor Adorno, Negative Dialectics]
