"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy

The world is internalized into unified subjects of experience which then perish into the past, contributing themselves to determinate datum, objective facts that can be taken up (in the form of conditions, influences and relational material) by future actual occasions. The past is determinate datum and so, by perishing into it, unified subjects of experience contribute to creating it. This movement from subjective unity to objective datum exceeds the simple binary of internal versus external.
