External reality is not moved by our personal dramas; even when our world is collapsing, the world continues its normal course, as if nothing had happened. Of course we know that the most poignant human suffering will not stop the sun from shining or the earth from turning. Yet there are moments when disharmony between objective reality and our own emotional state is painful. It seems as if the world is provocatively uninterested in what is most dear to us. The awareness of this discrepancy is evoked in the first sentence of Borges’ well-known story the Aleph, “On the burning February morning Bearitz Viterbo died, I noticed that the sidewalk billboards around Constitution Plaza were advertising some new brand or other American cigarettes. The fact pained me, for I realized that the wide and ceaseless universe was already slipping away from her and that this slight change was the first of an endless series.”
