“All is constructed.” Gaston Bachelard

(La formation de l’esprit scientifique, 1934)

At times I have to remember this. It may be difficult to see how it may help someone, but I believe a being completely led by one’s own/someone else’s emotions must remind him or herself of the physicality of this world. And that even the seemingly most complex emotion is grounded on a constructed image of how we are to see the world. I understand that this is an attempt to intellectualise my emotions right now, and I understand that I should just focus on my breath and my immediacy to this substantive world.

But I simply can’t. Let me be reminded by Bachelard.
