"For somebody, whose life is without meaning - a little incentive is everything"
Edit:
Translated from german, I hope it reads well enough.

I could be thinking about the wrong meaning to the word "comprehend".
Umberto Eco, on his "Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition", explains the encounter between Aztecs and spanishes horses, focusing on the confusion provoked by that new kind of animal, a big lhama mixed with a man. The Aztecs comprehended what they had experienced?
Some examples of things we experience but can't comprehend:
1. Pesa's english
2. Razy's requests (i have to kid someone, better a friend and i have kid seclu too much)
3. Within Temptation
4. Soretooh's pictures @ posts
Some examples of things we comprehend but can't experience:
5. The nothingness (can we experience a non-existing thing?)
6. The infinite
7. Each one of us to the others (we are mere computer mediated existences one to another)
8. Sensei |

Great Pesa, Razy's requests for instance, lmfao, that's exactly what i wanted
to provoke, looks like it develops to one of the most interesting threads so far.

I disagree with your statement we can comprehend the infinite, pesa.
I don't think we can comprehend.
people want to see things have a beginning and an end
if something doesn't have that (or doesn't seem to have it), then we actually got problems with it.
