I used to hold the belief that most of what we know are self-soothing fabrications of a world that we understand. In this way, we can learn how to live with nothingness by creating more artificiality in the world. In a sense, I think that Truth is Nothingness itself. This is more of an interpretation of Heidegger's das nichts. I am not yet sure if this some type of epistemological pessimism or if this idea is still something that I have been holding on to. To respond to that previous sentence, perhaps, partly, I still believe that this nothingness is what still governs us, which also allows us to pursue a symbolic ideal that we use to substitute to this void.

Let me sit through this quite another recognition of the void within me.
