Quiroga - 252

The construction of individuality

The foundation of the individual construction of life experience lies in our being an integral part of an infinitely larger and broader set of experiences than those that present themselves to us as individual experiences, that is, none of us would exist as individuals in the Universe or in the world without first being part of a group of events.

The individual that we are, therefore, is not an isolated island in the immense ocean of the human kingdom, which in turn integrates another even larger ocean together with the other kingdoms of nature, visible and invisible, and this group also integrates other larger and more complex groups.

As a result, if you want to know what the meaning of your individual experience is, always seek to broaden your point of view, because it is in what is greater than your individuality that you will find meaning.

There are things that do not deserve to be understood, because reasoning would ruin them, while kept in the dimension of feelings they produce very peculiar states of mind. Allow yourself to live life without understanding it. Life is not an enigma to be deciphered, but a mystery to be lived.
