"Somebody says: 'Of no school I am part, Never to living master lost my heart; Nor anymore can I be said To have learned anything from the dead.' {68} That statement--subject to appeal-- Means: 'I'm a self-made imbecile.'"[6] In nursing what better master than the nursing situation in which we become through our relations with others. Each human person has something unique to teach us if we can but hear. About our inadequacies of expression, many things are, are true, "all-at-once." The law of contradiction does not apply in-the-lived-experienced-world. We each view the world through our unique histories. Wisdom is many sided truth. Wisdom cannot be expressed "all-at-once." Truths can be stated only in sequence or metaphorically. If I were supercritical of my human limitations to express "all-at-once" wisdom, I would say nothing. Jung points up the dangers of this, he says: "I must prevent my critical powers from destroying my creativeness. I know well enough that every word I utter carries with it something of myself--of my special and unique self with its particular history and its particular world."[7] Each nurse's uniqueness dictates then a responsibility to share her particular knowing with fellow struggling human beings. Only through each describing can there be correction and complementary synthesis to movement beyond. The nurse's world is an experiential place for becoming influenced by each participant's "here and now" inclusive or origin, history, and hopes, fears, and alternatives of the confronting future. Positivistic science focuses on selected particulars. Henri Bergson says: "... for us conscious beings, it is the units that matter, for we do not count extremities of intervals, we feel and live the intervals themselves."[8] Each human participant in the nursing situation has a unique flow of consciousness which is intersubjectively influential. So as human nurses we are limited in our ability to express the reality of our-lived worlds. Yet, also, this world depends on and demands that we, as human nurses, give it meaning, understand it in accordance with our {69} humanness. Will and Ariel Durant, historians, professionals who are forced to selectively present the world for other humans, say: "The historian will not mourn because he can see no meaning in human existence except that which man puts into it: let it be our pride that we ourselves may put meaning into our lives, and sometimes a significance that transcends death."[9]
