The hollow-eyed truth of others' vision

Today's karmic assignments

a) The purpose of literature, since none of us will live more than once in this consciousness, is to see the world as others see it. At times, introspective conversation will do the same thing. Have you ever been staggered by what another person has told you about his/her perception of an event in your life? Write an infinite number of words about the inadequacy of a moment to express years of contemplation. Support your claims with evidence from dreams and phantasms.

b) Given that reality is subjectively constructed, answer the time-honoured question, What is truth? No points will be given for positivist claims.

c) Find the character in literature to whom your friends are most likely to compare you. Excavate the problematics of that character, and then excise it from collective consciousness. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
