RE: Horror Vacui
😃 fabulous.
”... the fear of emptiness, the horror vacui as they defined it in the Middle Ages, is nothing but the unconscious and desperate attempt to look away from the ultimate truth?"
This line got me thinking about our shadows. As I was looking around the concept of horror vacui, I found Nietzsche.
@bananafish The above line sent me searching. I couldn’t help it when I was put in a freakin’ horror house!
I think I need to find a healthy balance of research and creative writing because, without the research, I’d never have learned about the different paths horror vacui was associated with. However, I find myself running into the issue you brought up in another thread about the creative process.
I'm very glad that my contest stimulates research and creativity.. that's its aim! Yes I agree with the need of a balance 😉
I'm actually building a pseudo theory on my quoted sentence.. and you will read it iny own development of this story. Thanks for your appreciation bud!
