Today in class we talked about the idea of the journey being more important than the destination. Dostoyevsky argues that along this journey, man desires destruction and chaos. Today’s class discussion was based upon the idea that destruction and chaos are created by ourselves with the purpose of prolonging this journey. However, it is interesting to note that as we grow older we tend to want to go from point A to point B more efficiently and as a result, the journey gets lost. This relying on efficiency is what sparked up a conversation about point B (the destination) being the wall. Like we have mentioned in previous discussions, without a wall/without a destination, we start to feel fear because it is impossible for us to imagine infinity.
