A Pencil Line

Today i believe in the straight line.
The straight line is an astonishing measurement of man’s capability of abstraction.
The straight line does not exist in the world of sensations.
The line on this paper is a) not straight, and b) consisting of tiny atoms of lead mixing very unevenly with the different molecules of the paper.
The straight line only exists in the mind.
It extends not in space, but maybe in time.
But the line in the mind does only relate very distantly to anything in nature, and so the image loses its bearings and the line in the mind becomes a useless generalization.
The line in the mind is a silly manifestation of thought.
I do no longer believe in the straight line.
