The European Experience # 39

´´ Nothing unknown is knowable.´´ from Angels in America by Tony Kushnir

That which is foreign is not the same as that which is unknown.

That which is foreign is what exists within ourselves, our realm of knowledge and experience, but that which we have not yet reached an adequate understanding of.

Think of a foreign language. We know it is language to begin with, we know that the sounds have a meaning a group of people have an agreed meaning upon, what is unclear is the content. That which is foreign is that which has a familiar form, but unclear content and meaning.

Love is ultimately foreign.
