I Am Like A Child Ready For

Even If We're In A State Of Hopelessness, A Sense Of Expectation Is An Integral Part Of Our Relationship To Time. Hopelessness Is Possible Only Because We Do Hope That Some Good, Loving Someone Could Come. If That's What Heidegger Meant, Then I Agree With Him.

There Is A Future Which Is Predictable, Programmed, Scheduled, Foreseeable. But There Is A Future, L'avenir (to Come) Which Refers To Someone Who Comes Whose Arrival Is Totally Unexpected. For Me, That Is The Real Future. That Which Is Totally Unpredictable. The Other Who Comes Without My Being Able To Anticipate Their Arrival. So If There Is A Real Future, Beyond The Other Known Future, It Is L'avenir In That It Is The Coming Of The Other When I Am Completely Unable To Foresee Their Arrival.

Surviving - That Is The Other Name Of A Mourning Whose Possibility Is Never To Be Awaited.

That Is What Deconstruction Is Made Of: Not The Mixture But The Tension Between Memory, Fidelity, The Preservation Of Something That Has Been Given To Us, And, At The Same Time, Heterogeneity, Something Absolutely New, And A Break.

I Never Give In To The Temptation To Be Difficult Just For The Sake Of Being Difficult. That Would Be Too Ridiculous.
