I do not begin at the beginning when I ask questions such as "What is being?" or "Why is anything at all? Why not nothing?" or "Who am I?" or "What do I really want?" These questions arise from a situation in which, coming from a past, I find myself.

Previously I had taken things up and dropped them again; everything had been a matter of course, unquestioned, and purely present; but now I wonder and ask what really is. For al things pass away, and I was not at the beginning, nor am I at the end. Even between beginning and end I ask about the beginning and the end.
