A patchwork route towards a wholeness

The terrain i am slowly and apparently aimlessly wandering in is where several storms rage, depending on which point of view you see it through.

I am not sure which point of view i have, there are a few i like, but none that i can call my own

This is good as i see then that i can glean more nuggets of insight from various positional places than if i were to be firmly situated in one.

In these scholarly commentaries they all have their own POV, but they will also supply you with others, and not in a disparaging way, this connotes maturity, which i crave.

In regular real life dialogue of things, there's very little maturity, from what i gather, most of my info comes from dad's exhausting relaying of talks he's had.

Like watching the news, i don't see the problem of looking past the inadequacies of the source to get a gist of what is really going on.

Confusion however is a constant state, and in a confusing way i cannot just step out of confusion, confusion is like a real handicap, and what do people who have that do? They work it in to how they do things, and often they can specialize in certain matters that people perfectly free from handicaps aren't able to.

But i don't want to set myself up to be doing grandiose things, but in a sense i am, it's kind of like for myself, resolving what in the world is down the line all the way through divisive. I want to do things only in a way that is borrowed from the many, and never explicitly and fully described by any.
I know NIetsche, I don't subscribe to constant ridicule of his thoughts that happen in this world, but something of his words don't reconcile in me emotionally, while I believe in looking beyond good and evil. I can see the health in thought, terrain, but for me philosophy often misses where our minds and emotions meet. You can't study the meaning of life, only within philosophy, or the heart, and yet it appears we have many in this word who try to measure from a very limited perspective.

It's why I prefer art, literature, over science or philosophy..... but I'm sure I have that part messed up too.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Nietzsche is one of the more artistic philosophers though. Yeah, to me literature as a whole is a home, it covers an incredible amount of terrain, but there is something magical about real life in the moment contact with others that in a flash accomplish more than a whole library could over many years, but i hold onto the fact that beyond mere civil dialogue, i'm not cut out for it, we expect others to be a certain way, and we will always let them down by being ourselves, thus speaks my juvenile grasp of fatalism.
