some thoughts about values and defining them
Your writing for some reason reminded me of Kafka’s diary entries reminiscing about how his upbringing effected him
He writes the same thought more than 3-4 times, each time expanding on it.

There is also his scathing letter to his father which is a whole other story

Also reminded me of this beautifully haunting poem I bumped into on substack

Thanks, Ranas! I am a great admirer of Kafka. I will read this translation in detail.
Hopefully I don’t come as scornfully as he sometimes does.
Well stated and thoughtfully considered! The amorphous pressures that shape us are complex and mapping them dispassionately is a worthwhile exercise.
Thank you, brother!
