Everything is a reflection. Originating from one point, hitting a subject, then returning. Everything is a reflection, sometimes more than once removed. You are always author and reader within this act of reflection. The subject or object is simply a mirror. How can one perceive reality with truth (of course a transcendental word) when one is writing the very text one reads? Furthermore, how can I be an author and reader if I am only able to write my own text? If everything is truly connotative then how can their be truths?
The author is truly dead because no one is reading.
