Always our being is descending into us from we know not whence.’ -Ralph Waldo Emerson“we are continually overflowing toward those who preceded us, toward our origin, and toward those who seemingly come after us. ... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again “invisibly,” inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.”―Rainer Maria Rilke"Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love." -Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

'The idea of ... empathy is an intellectual interpretation of the primary experience in which there is no room for any sort of dichotomy.' - Daisetsu T. Suzuki
Every social order has contradictions that create points that appear impossible to inhabit from within the order itself and enjoyment derives from these contradictions because they provide avenues for people to transcend the limits that the society lays down. So we're not just confined to the possibilities that the social order offers us and makes available to us, so to enjoy then is to do something like eclipse the given possibilities that the social order has available and the contradictions of every social order, you could say, create openings to enjoy, openings to go beyond what's been authorized.
