just to clarify, i didn't mean "are you just figuring this out" in any sarcastic way--i just want to know if you just realized it as a function of how your voyaging and the fact that in making the voyage, you stepped outside your other life.
one thing that's clear from the responses so far is that much of what you make of this recognition that there is no meaning given along with yourself in the world is a function of the scale you choose to lay over it--if you get all christian about it and think in this kind heidegger direction about "authentic being" as "being-toward-death" then there's one set of options that open and another that gets foreclosed.
interested in getting a better sense of where this thread is coming from.
