Why was I not consulted?

[vagueness_game]

I stick my finger into existence--it smells of nothing. Where am I? What is this thing called the world? Who is it that has lured me into the thing and now leaves me here? Who am I? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted?

Oh, Kierkegaard. You're a pill.

I still haven't seen that, have I? ...what does that have to do with Kierkegaard?

well...it doesn't really...but that quote reminded me a lot of it.
It's like what happens when you're standing in a meadow at dusk.
what happens?
everything!
Nothing!
Everything!
Nothing!
it's beautiful.
Ok that doesn't really fit in with the kierkegaard quote either...but it is one of my favorite parts of the movie.

It's a great quote anyway. I suppose it would fit in Kierkegaard's philosophy, though. Because he was always caught in a delemma between the aesthetic and the religious.
