I studied Philosophy so that I would never find myself in a situation where I had based everything, thrown everything, and believed unfailingly in a truth, or a system of truths, that somehow I later learned I was illusioned about, that it is fact not true, not worth believing in.
Instead, I float around, searching for a truth that looks appealing and functional enough to set my feet down on. Which one will put into trance? Which one will succeed enough in casting its illusion over me so that I don't know the difference. Please just give me something solid to believe in, and undo in me the work, and the education that makes me constantly question, makes me find the flaws in every structure of truths. There are always unspoken assumptions and hidden value judgments. I don't want to be able to discern them anymore.
Ironic, too that I just canceled my appointment to get 'aude sapere' tattooed on my upper arm.
