The In-Between

I think Heidegger really captures the human condition on earth very well. If you think about it, we are stuck in the in-between – the middle ground between heaven and hell, if you will. While there is death and destruction on earth, there is also still beautiful things happening here. On the third page, he conjectures that perhaps the world is now becoming completely destitute, but counteracts with perhaps it is not. But, since we still have to live with “the abyss,” Heidegger proposes that “it is necessary that there be those who reach into the abyss.” Perhaps this is where the poets come in. Perhaps they are the ones that must dig into the unknown and bring up the (scary) truth and beauty of it all.
