SYMBOLS

Summary

Only a small number of people are able to comprehend the very essence of a certain thing or a phenomenon. Even the old philosophers have asked themselves the question of essence. In my opinion, the question of essence could not be completely answered even today! I often ask my self, not expecting a quick and simple answer: could the absolute truth about the meaning of a symbol be found? Due to the variety of meanings, symbol is shyly spiteful and drives the careful observer to think constantly! No one can have the right to say: I have reached the essence of a certain symbolic meaning! I consider symbols as an endless subject, bottomless pit!
