Bedoing is a word I use to describe meaningless, immediate action, to get onself moving, without erring too much. Cautiousness, in principle. But I ain't no cautious man. Definitely.
Of course, I don´t mean to preach. Predication of this kind is delirious, delectable, de-sensible and destructive. And with the added difficulty of making man aware of a meaning that doesn´t exist because it is too literal, too morphological. In these times, we had better run for cover; and understand all we can do is pray.
These are all things that need to be examined and understood. If I had time I'd do that. I have no time, and I have no vanity - at least not right now, not about this. So I cannot go into it in depth. But let's just say that we need to understand that the Confucian problem is expressed in the bedoing as Confucian cautiousness - which is paradoxical - and in the not-stopping mid-action (the hoping, the needing, the wanting, the waiting) as the famous dictum: it doesn´t matter how slowly you go as long as you don't stop. And that's exactly how I have lived my life, I suppose. And that's what Americans know - and they're the only thing we have that we can count on next to friends. And you can't really count on friends perhaps, but your friends help you no matter what even though everyone's against you. And they are always incapable of really helping you perhaps. Still, I saw an American girl today and I really thought... I dunno... maybe like she would listen to me for a second...
