A certain non-knowledge
must leave me disarmed
before what I have to do…
so that I have to do it in order for me
to feel freely obligated and bound
to it…

It is necessary to know the most and the best possible,
but between the widest, the most refined,
the most necessary knowledge, and responsible decision,
an abyss remains and must remain.

—On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness, by Jacques Derrida p.54

Valentine’s day and just not just one day.  Consider the day as a annual memorial to the heart every day for our span of our life.  Over the duration of our time spent here, what we owe one another is the anchor point.

What ties me to the earth, what secures my sense of self, the extant homo sapiens that I uniquely am?  The tether is what I must to do to cultivate the relationship between you and I.  Naturally the supreme importance of relationship is highlighted on Valentine’s day.  It’s not limited to romantic love, that male/female partnership.  It’s true of every single relationship, every friendship, and every casual passing acquaintance.

I must do what is necessary.  Do the necessary.  Especially when knowledge is incomplete.  Is not knowledge always incomplete?

Always the abyss.  Respond as much as I can to you, on your behalf…

Act right here, right now, — the sense of freedom follows.
