What allows me to know myself by knowing you?
HOW DO YOU KNOW YOURSELF THROUGH ME?
That a person can know and love themselves
through another
means that each person's Selfhood is rooted in a common primordial ground. Evil is also rooted in this same ground,
but as Schelling said,
the ground expresses itself both as a life-creating force,
and as the desire to remain as it is.
It is also the place which calls all things to return
and lose their identity in the dark origin from which they sprang.
Evil is, therefore, nothing more than this regressive urge
and negation of being and Selfhood.
