#(Distinctions)

[philosophybits]

Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead

Serenity is when you get above all this, when it doesn't matter what they think, say or want, but when you do as you are, and see God and Devil as one.

There's a big difference between people who can love you right and others who don't.

Your Mission - should you choose to accept it - is to discover your business and marketing direction And message that expresses your unique gifts, talents, and personality; leverages your experience and background; and makes a real difference.

Imagine being able to say what you do at a party and have someone light up, lean in and ask The Money Questions: "How do you do that?" "Tell me more." and "Do you have a card?"

Now imagine being able to tell your parents what you do and have them actually get it.

He who divides the world into two parts moves in the sphere of abstractions... The world as it is, and not as people dream it to be, is not divided into two camps: it is infinitely more complex and diverse.

Nikolai Berdyaev, "Political Testament"

[thirdity]

I feel a first freedom seizing me little by little. . . . Since until today I never had so little fear of lacking good taste [...] For now the first timid pleasure I am having is realizing I lost my fear of ugliness. And that loss is such goodness. It is a sweetness. I want to know what else, in losing, I gained. I don’t know yet: only by reliving myself shall I live.

Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G. H.

Imaginative variation and eidetic intuition are related to making distinctions. They make up a process that is far more complex and mysterious than Husserl's rather summary descriptions of it would suggest. It is a process, furthermore, that is carried on by all writers when they perform what we call thought experiments in order to bring out what one would call conceptual necessities if one were more or less nominalistic in taste, or essential necessities if one were a realist. What eidetic intuitions do is to bring out distinctions in all their necessity, and to bring out, consequently, the identities that are the other side of distinctions.
