"Conscious attention to the basics of life, and a constant attention to your immediate environment and its concerns, example-> A job, a task, a book; anything requiring efficient concentration (Circumstance has no value. It is how one relates to a situation that has value. All true meaning resides in the personal relationship to a phenomenon, what it means to you)." - McCandless

  2. "I'm not like them
    But I can pretend
    The sun is gone
    But I have a light
    The day is done
    But I'm having fun
    I think I'm dumb
    Or maybe just happy..."

    "[] personal relationship to a phenomenon"

    malo opshirnije o fenomenju fenomenologije:

    "'Phenomenology' comes from the Greek words phainómenon, meaning 'that which appears,' and lógos, meaning 'study.' In Husserl's conception, phenomenology is primarily concerned with making the structures of consciousness, and the phenomena which appear in acts of consciousness, objects of systematic reflection and analysis. Such reflection was to take place from a highly modified 'first person' viewpoint, studying phenomena not as they appear to 'my' consciousness, but to any consciousness whatsoever." (Wikipedia the Free Encyclopedia)

    "The experience of the Other is the experience of another free subject who inhabits the same world as you do. In its most basic form, it is this experience of the Other that constitutes intersubjectivity and objectivity. To clarify, when one experiences someone else, and that this Other person experiences the world (the same world that you experience), only from "over there", the world itself is constituted as objective in that it is something that is "there" as identical for both of the subjects; you experience the other person as experiencing the same as you. This experience of the Other's look is what is termed the Look (sometimes The Gaze)."

    McCandless bi se bez problema slozio sa ovim, barem onako pred smrt: "Happiness is only real when shared".

    Sartre podsjecha mnogo na svoje predhodnike Husserl i Hegel:

    "Self-consciousness exists in itself and for itself, in that, and by the fact that it exists for another self-consciousness; that is to say, it is only by being acknowledged or recognized." (Hegel in "Phenomenology of Spirit")-ovu mozda i prepoznajes:))

    "I'm not pretending
    But I know them
    The sun is in my pocket
    But I still look for some light
    The day is young
    But I'm bored and tired
    I think I'm a genious
    Or maybe just a little bit sad..."

  7. Mosh' mislit' kako je to kontradiktivna situacija - boli bol u grudima od vakuma samoche i nemochnosti pred velichinom velichanstva sveg onoga shto jeste, pogotovo kad taj feeling nemash sa kim podijeliti, a istovremeno godi hladan vjetar usamljenosti, tishine, spokoja, harmonije... milki bol.

    Shto suha zemlja, zar je ne ljube mokri valovi okeana?

    OBS! "Beacon" not "Bacon" :)))
