Chapter 116: Waiting for Death?

In this cave, am I just to wait for death?

There seems to be no way to escape, no other action that appears more appropriate.

Looking around, all that I can see are situations that seem impossible to face.

Everything seems like the best understanding and action one can make when starting to confront a problem.

Subsequent progress has been fairly good, leading to more understanding and careful development, yet the issues faced still require very good explanations.

It seems that some understandings and clear dealings with problems may no longer necessitate further cognition.

The very problem being faced already embodies these ideas.

Any other rash understandings and cautious hesitations thus become unnecessary, with no need for further development.

The careful understanding of the issue at hand had already begun at the outset.

Remaining understandings still need to look like very good, careful confrontations or clear analyses of problems.
