I've been reading the short stories of Franz Kafka lately.
I saw the complete version of all his stories just sitting on the newspaper rack in Spiderhouse and after urgings from Matt and AJ I took it.
I'm engrossed at the moment by "The Metamorphosis" and taking short breaks to read some of his shorter works.
"In the Penal Colony" is genius.
I'm feeling such a weird connection to these writings.
They're all about distachment and simultaneous admiration of religion and faith.
It's like he fears attachment to an unprovable truth but at the same time its noble because its such an incredible human connection.
It made me think alot today.
About how I feel about this kind of stuff, I feel like I put it out of my head far too much and it feels strange to say that I feel the same as Kafka does in some ways.
I feel like I need simplicity and solidity in my beliefs but I have such an aversion to nailing down anything because of some of my other beliefs.
I'm gonna delve a little more into this, see what comes up.
