Recently I feel I'm approaching the fundamental reason for this confusion & contradiction in my life
that I've been suffering for ages, for more than 20 years, probably
That is,
a separation between abstract world & concrete world
There are art works I was deeply impressed by
These art works, mostly songs & books, still deeply touch me to this day
Also, there are people who are significant parts of my life, of my existence
such as Mishima Yukio,
such as Abe Shinzo,
such as this Japanese musician who I've been listening to for 20 years
Every time I think about them, I feel something
"Something"........., I don't know the name of this emotion
This is the emotion that feels holy, sublime & supreme
This is the emotion that is connected to a very fundamental element of my existence
This is the emotion that is connected to an eternity & "truth"
Then, as well as this abstract world,
there is another world in my life, called
"concrete world"
or simply, "realistic world"
This world includes everything in my daily life, such as
washing my clothes,
working for my client,
paying the rent,
going to a supermarket,
cooking spaghetti,
taking a bus,
socialising with other people,
spending time with a woman
.........All these daily, normal, ordinary, mundane, mediocre, trivial, un-impressive, un-important, absurd, worthless things belong to this "concrete world"
What I don't understand at all.........
What I don't understand in the slightest.........
is
the relation between "abstract world" & "concrete world"
For example,
I come across this song that brings a special emotion
to me,
to my life,
to my existence
But what is the relation between
this emotion I feel from the song
&
things I do everyday,
like, washing my teeth,
selecting my clothes,
buying a drink for a girl,
checking an event on the weekend,
giving a smile to a female barista in a cafe or.........
How are they related?
How is it related between
this enormous sensation from an art work & from people I find significant in my life
&
this ordinary,
this mundane,
this down-to-earth,
this worthless despicable garbage in my life?
.........One day, I may solve this question & this contradiction
It will be the day that I will feel I don't need to exist in this world anymore
