“ Clinging to one’s outward appearance interferes with living. ”
Do you shovel to survive, or survive to shovel?
~ Kōbō Abe
Defeat begins with the fear that one had lost.
Just as trees bear their fruit before winter, just as bamboo grass produces its seeds just before it withers, sex is simply a struggle with death on the human level.
You can only do what you can no matter how you try.
