Because you matter, Hank. Your thoughts, beliefs, and actions have consequences beyond your immediate, personal existence.
Pietro, your "i moving to I" is an extraordinarily beautiful and truthful insight. To refuse God's appeal to us essentially involves the refusal to be what we are.
I sometimes get far afield on tangents, I would be interested in what you think about my larger point that man is motion.
I really believe this because any description of "man" will attempt to classify him as a "thing" w/ certain properties. Invariably there are exceptions and contradictions to any system, no matter the degree of detail or sophistication. A living man cannot be pinned to the matte like some exotic butterfly (and thank God for that). Man's fluidity is his saving grace, it has saved us countless times from the genius of other men.
Like when a scientist looks at a photon expecting to see a wave he sees a wave, and when he expects to see a particle he sees a particle, so too does a philosopher's expectations color his findings--because we are many these things. We're a lion and a mouse and a hero and a louse. We're a that, a this, an it , a thing, a movement and a monument. And we're all these things at the same time, all the time.
Because of this multi-fluidity an analogy like "i towards I" can sometimes strike a resonance. I truly believe the more we eccentricize our oscillations towards God the more resonance we find in reality. That is; the more we look to God the more God reveals to us.
