De de Derrida

The film so far has been interesting. He kinda seems like a space cadet, but you can tell he is brilliant at the same time. I liked what he had to say about eyes never getting old and how you see things the same throughout life.

I also liked his answer about love, you can't really speak about it in generalities. It depends on what kind of love you're talking about. You can love someone or something. You can also be in love with someone or something, the two notions are completely different. I'm not sure how well i can explain it but when you love something you generally care about them or it in the way a mother love her child. Being in love on the other hand is completely different, it involves aspects of the first love but i think it is more. Being in love is willing to put everything on the line, to sacrafice yourself over the thing you're in love with. It's even more than that, that's why i think Derrida couldn't answer it because i don't think you can put it into words.
