That
which has no existence … - by P.K.Odendaal - May 2013
I have had a discussion with someone
recently on starting a flying community at our local airport. There is no
formal or informal structure to bind the lots of people together who are
interested in flying. Well … here it comes … an interest in flying is not a
material or physical thing - it is an idea or notion.
And what struck me immediately were the
words of White from The Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy:
White: I
want the dead to be dead - forever. And I want to be one of them. Except that
of course you can't be one of them. You can't be one of the dead, because what
has no existence can have no community.
