SA: Ham, I've always mentioned this "coincidence of
all contrariety", but I, to use your jargon, place
essence and existence as a coincidence, same place,
same time. It seems to be, unless I'm reading Platt's
Truth in another thread with my own meaning, the
paradox of Truth. This is also how samsara=nirvana.
How this coincidence of contrariety happens is via
empathy and compassion. Yes, these concepts are that
deep in reality. Since we're all in the mood to
understand each other, then it wouldn't hurt to
understand me, wouldn't it?
