Being and Non-being
Shikdar Mohammed Kibriah, Bangladesh


Is existence corporeal or incorporeal?

Does existence precede
Or succeed essence?

Existentialist Sartre says -
" Existence precedes essence ".
Then,the existence of my departed soul
Reasonably irrelevant.

If truth is temporal,and relative
Then,in the context of life and existence
Why would it be relevant?

"Sensory experience is the basis
Of knowledge that finds truth"
As said the Empiricists Barkeley
And others.

Hearing this my passe wife cried
As she is inevitably irrelevant now!
Similarly irrelevant spiritual values
And moral categories - humanity,
Nobility and honesty,
The forms of truth, goodness and beauty.

But life and the world practically exist
In the overall standard of truth,
Goodness, and beauty,where
Youth and past-youth emerge
As the shape of aesthetic feelings
In the context of generosity.

It is only a variation in the feeling;
A particular feeling of existentialism
In the same essence, my lover
In fact, remains truly existent.
Therefore, even in this old age,
I love my wife.
