Vertigo is a disoriented sense of groundlessness. It literally refers to the symptom of dizziness or spinning. But the idea of panic when we are unsure of our stability grounded on something concrete metaphorically describes when we are lost. Lost in our humanity, between dogmatic convictions, struggling in cognitive dissonance, or just simply unsure.
You have very accurate and vivid observations and sketches. Indeed, although we clearly feel our existence, we are always out of place. We are always on the go, always on the move. Remember Nietzsche and his image of a tightrope walker over an abyss? On the one hand, balancing on a rope is the most unstable position, but on the other hand, each step of the master is the best and most right. Vertigo is the agonizing expectation of action (or success or failure), but when I focus on the action itself, I find myself again.
Great reference to the tightrope walker. There is also a sense that staying still is more anxiety inducing than moving forward. We are not like the sloths, content to eat and exist--we are meant to find our meaning between the two natures of finite and reason.
Crisis.. rumbles down inert security structures rooted into the gravitational abyss of past, traditions, cultures to pave the way for something beyond the cage or radar of the human mind... NATURE IS EVER CREATIVE IN A NOVEL WAY... and ONTOLOGICAL VERTIGO... is seemingly a tool in the hands of NATURE...

Good reading experience. I look forward to reading more thoughtful things.
