What is the understanding? I could say understanding is reading. But then I have to explain it to someone else. So there is a transformative “function” applied. Which is my brain burning fuel. Moving to a different position vis-à-vis a set of events. The new arrangement, is also a new event. Especially if I wish to confirm someone else’s understanding, I have to have a sense of the event I’m aiming for. In myself or the other person. At that point when anxiety decreases and I stop following the line, is that what we call understanding? And what exactly am I standing under? Is it a shelter for my fear? Or your displeasure? Why would that bother us, “under” any circumstance?
