So worth it though. Worth it to read even if you never understand. Same as Shakespeare

“Can’t stand in the same river twice” took me longer than a lot of people to understand but once I understood that I understood a lot more

I’m not entirely too sure how to articulate what I’m trying to say yet old philosophers (and some new ones) like to write in riddles in an abstract way which can get confusing at times. Kant is a good example of this. Currently reading about how to acquire something external by Kant and my head is about to explode.
