“ Something whose connection with human experience we cannot grasp is bound to be frightening. ”
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.
