I do know who Osama bin Laden was. What I cannot do is understand him. Perhaps this is not remarkable. Why, though, can I only and ever misunderstand the meaning of this man's life?
Because, as Morrisey would say, tonight is just like every other night. That's why I have no insight into Osama bin Laden. Because it would be wholly unlike the truth of my life for me to comprehend somebody else's mind. Should I try to learn more, I could hope only to shift the sands under yet another blind step. No, information is of no use here; I need, rather, much less than that.
Time to slow things way, way down.
