Les Meany & a Myriad of Doubts

Meaninglessness is, in its essential ambiguity, the only container that captures the broad spectrum of human experience while making allowances for the complex contradictions that--by necessity--co-inhabit an individual's psyche.  Since the starting point here is a blank canvas as opposed to some finely tuned conception of truth, the vantage of nihilism is that of possibility rather than precision.  Metaphorically, this can be understood as a poetic orientation.  While the rhetorical/philosophical position struggles to refine language by strangling those concepts and ideas that the individual sees as standing in opposition to some self-serving reality, the impressionistic (both in form and meaning) nature of poetry appends itself a hundred times making room for personal interpretation (the inevitable infusion of bias that comes from one's own experience) and for variable understandings as informed by a myriad of contexts impacting a myriad of minds.  This orientation itself obviates its superiority; meaning, far from being static is the personal projection (as informed by concurrent cultural cues) that is formulated within the situational boundaries of a time and a place.  Thus, the base reality--in order to absorb the obvious contentions and contradictions both between competing meanings from person to person and within a single individual trying to uphold divergent ideas--must be meaninglessness, the open-ended poetry of being.  That said, truth should not be confused with meaning.  This is a very different animal.  Stealth and almost legendary for its evasive nature, truth sleeps in the darkest forest, far beyond the reach of human language.
