What else are we to do with our obsessions? Do they feed us? Or are we simply scavenging our memories for one gleaming image to tell the truth of what is hunting us?
"What else are we to do with our obsessions? Do they feed us?" This question explores the nature of human fixation, suggesting that our obsessions may serve a purpose, perhaps nourishing or guiding us in some way. It invites reflection on whether our fixations are a source of strength or simply an activity that keeps us occupied, offering no real sustenance or clarity.
"Or are we simply scavenging our memories for one gleaming image to tell the truth of what is hunting us?" Williams implies that our obsession might be a means of searching through past experiences to find a single, powerful image that reveals the deeper truth about our fears or pursuits. This process of scavenging then becomes a way to understand what haunts or drives us on a fundamental level.
