From here to eternity

I have referred several times to that ridiculously preposterous and great concept of Spinoza: under that unalterable view we do dwell here. And don't - in the last analysis we are not able, not capable, we do not ever reach those inhumane altitudes. And even with this certain knowledge, this experience of not ever being able, we still will try: the most futile, the most essential of our human endeavours.
