Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 " Fist " , according to the dictionary is a " noun " as it's the name of a person, place, or thing. However, also in my point of view, it is also a " verb " , an action. A fist only exists if it's " being made " and " held " via effort(ing). When the intention/activity of " making " a fast disappears, then the " fist " is no longer, just the hand at ease. So a " fist " is a " contraction " , just like the " separate me " sense, fear, worry, stress, etc. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The action of observation situates observer and observed in apparent interaction relative to each other, yet because they depend on the interactive activity, they aren't ever really situated. Their apparent stablity is constructed by the observer in an attempt to maintain fixed reference points, yet they can never have more fixity than the abstracted " observer.

However, at the same time, " to fist " one's partner (verb) does exist in some forms of sexual interaction. Ouch! Michael Adamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
