Opinion 184

I've been reading Heidegger's Being and Time for just about a year now.  I'm a little over a third of the way through.  I've come to the conclusion that I do not like anything he has to say.  Instead, as far as I can tell, I just really like the way I feel when I read what he has to say.  All his obtuse sentences take my mind to some bizarre place of abstraction wherein things feel more tangible, and, being tangible, even more stretchy.  Does anyone else know what I mean?

    I have no idea what you mean, but I laughed.

    Is it like imagining Gumby walking in front of a steamroller while being distracted while reading philosophy then popping back into his correct form when he thinks he gets it?
