Where Were You in the Beginning - Eunice Kim - Bog

This book is fiction, a story about finding that we are important parts and members of the universe; our existence is not transient but infinite, and we are not worthless but precious. Through the love stories and characters' philosophical and psychological dialogues, the book also discusses human subconsciousness's duplicity - the constructive and destructive nature. Nietzsche described this duplicity as Dionysian and Apollonian in his Birth of Tragedy. Our destructive emotion, the dark side of human beings, is not a sin but a constant effort to find light in the darkness within us. It is an impetus for finding our renewal self, creative power, within us, since creation is a progression from destruction - just like nature repeats the destruction and birth process in the fall and spring.
