"We become excessive through what we lack, which is evident when weaknesses lead us to develop strengths or a failure drives us to work harder for success."

Not only are we not infinite, we are not, even finite.

Human kind would be more than happy to be able to live peacefully in its finitude.

One needs to accept not simply finitude but this hole in finitude which is the space of the notions of the soul.

Instead of filling in this hole by assertions about this finitude.

The problem is not finitude but the surplus or lack in it that is parasitic on it, argues Zupancic.
