THE WHAT

KUANG-MING WU

Abstract

What there is whatever so common is appreciated here, by listing four aspects of what there is, and then citing our four amazements at them and how the amazements inter-twine. These are four aspects of what there is. What there is excites us; what exists is divine; what exists changes; and what there is stays as it moves on. And these are our four amazements that intertwine. Subjectivity composes objectivity into what there is. Existence is pulled by the future unknown. Weakened subject is strengthened by objective existence. And all existence is “alive” staying and moving, as we see these amazements intertwine. Existence is alive.
