The Fragile Thing Called Man
Thursday. 7.15.10 10:09 am
"But I had a problem with your basic premise that 'breakability', or whatever you want to call it, is a very common-place attribute of human beings. And I even wondered, at first, 'Is he turning into just another sentimental humanist?' Because the Kogito I knew originally would never have bought into that sort of cheap, popular palaver."

- The Changeling, Kenzaburo Oe

I mentioned how fragile some guys can be in a conversation not too long ago and imagine my suprise when I read that excerpt in a book that I am reading too fast to digest.

Of course when I say fragile I was referring to an emotion level and not so much the physical. I was being completely narrow minded. The actuality is that man/woman, people are all breakable. Breakability is hardly the foremost thought in our minds when we pull stupid stunts, bungee or cheating relationships included.

I think there is something fundamental about the fact that Man is a) flawed and b) mortal............ no matter how strong a man is, his existence is actually extremely fragile and temporary. That book you are reading sounds interesting, maybe I will try to find it.
