繼續在limbo中的生活，回想起三年前，也是一盤狼藉。
整理了整理情緒，打算，就做到手上的稿件都交出去為止，卻在文獻回顧時意外看到這段話
Det er ganske sandt, hvad Philosophien siger, at Livet maa forstaaes baglaends. Men derover glemmer man den anden Saetning, at det maa leves forlaends. Hvilken Saetning, jo meer den gjennemtaenkes, netop ender med, at Livet i Timeligheden aldrig ret bliver forstaaeligt, netop fordi jeg intet Øieblik kan faae fuldelig Ro til at indtage Stillingen: baglaends.
"It is really true what philosophy tells us, that life must be understood backwards. But with this, one forgets the second proposition, that it must be lived forwards. A proposition which, the more it is subjected to careful thought, the more it ends up concluding precisely that life at any given moment cannot really ever be fully understood; exactly because there is no single moment where time stops completely in order for me to take position [to do this]: going backwards."
Often shortened to "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards"---in Danish, Livet skal forstaas baglaens, men leves forlaens.

perhaps I should seize this opportunity to read either/or...?
