I'm a big fan of the inexplicable and I find that the people who come closest to it - the inexplicable - are poets and musicians.
I agree. Perhaps that is the reason why many of the early Western thinkers used poetry as a means of expressing themselves. I can think of a few. But, in general, I think that art of all kinds is always capable of doing a good job in conveying the ineffable.
Having grown up in an environment where everything required an explanation from childhood and was delivered in bite-size, I myself sometimes tend to want to explain myself and to resort to long-winded thoughts that I often, when I am of a light mind, do not even consider.
Yes, but I think it is a bit contradictory, as most people have this conception that we are very rational and we can explain everything we do, but at the same time, if you question a person intensely, asking him why he does something, and the why of that, and so on, you will probably get to a point where you cannot explain with reasons why you do what you do. Maybe I am wrong. But I think, to a large extent, a lot of what we do comes down to intuitions. Most of the time, the things we do need no explanation because they are obvious to us, and if we are doing well, if someone asks us: why are we doing it? Our answer would be: why not? Because it would be obvious to us that we should do that. So sometimes explanations and reasons are just justifications for things we shouldn't do, and the things we should do are unexplained simply because they are obvious and require no explanation.
Is that usable for you, does it count as an income?
It could be, in Venezuela that is something (not so much, but something), but I prefer not to use it because I have no immediate needs and I prefer to keep it here. There is no problem, most of the time I don't mind private questions, but I reserve the right not to answer them. :)
I think you are right about that.
I guess it's because when you're asked, you think you have to give answers. And since one has often not really penetrated that there is no real answer, one formulates some that one thinks sound coherent. It is probably a kind of surface dialogue. If, on the other hand, one were to pause when someone asks something and ponder it for a while, one would probably come to the conclusion that one cannot give a satisfactory answer, but that it is enough not to have an answer to everything.
Oh yes, you put that very aptly! :)
There is a beautiful phrase I once heard: If you don't want something, you find reasons against it, but if you want it, you find ways for it. Those ways are the ones you're talking about, it's more of an intuition that happens apart from explanations and that can be ruined if you're not careful.
For the cryptos: Same here. Thanks for the reply :)
