RE: WHAT IS REALITY? A SYSTEMIC VIEW OF LIFE - Part One

in #steemstem7 years ago

This topic of life view and objectivity is so hard to grasp...
I'm currently reading an entire book that interprets a single chapter written by Wilfred R. Bion on very similar topics. He tries to define what we cannot grasp, but as there are no words to describe it (because we can't grasp it, and therefore we can't even think it or imagine it), he just uses a letter, O, to encompass all the things we simply can't.
This is a very confusing topic, and very mind-boggling, and I really think you wrote about it quite well. I'm not even close to understanding any of it, but it's easier to accept that such a viewpoint even exists when it's explained properly :-)
Following to see what you'll write next. Hope you follow back.

LOL! I have to laugh about the attempt from Mr. Bion to put into language what is not letting itself being put into language.

What cannot be grasped is what I tried to leave open with the term "uncertainty" - which withdraws itself from spoken words or formula.
But is still a matter of feeling and intuition. Maybe also explained with the absence of something. When you paint a picture and after it's done you would extract all the yellow out of it and then present it to a viewer without telling him that you pulled out the yellow. Maybe he wouldn't come up with the exact answer but would say that it doesn't look quite right (or odd) or something is missing he cannot grasp.

I have often a feeling when reading or listening to something and I cannot exactly tell what's bothering me. That is the moment of being true to myself and make a decision.

Thank you for commenting and complementing me.
