A Letter to Felice
A Letter to Felice A Letter to Felice Examples of amae can also be found in Kafka's letters. Especially relevant in this context is a passage in a letter to his fiance Felice Bauer (The Basic Kafka, pp. 286f) which he regarded as so important that he also noted it in his diary and quoted it in a letter to his friend Max Brod, where he even proposes it as his epitaph. The fact that Kafka copied this text twice shows how important it was to him. This is also indicated by the expression "ultimate aim." It seems that Kafka here reveals an essential element of his view of life. Since he takes the passage out of the context in two cases we may assume that he regards it as self-contained. Thus one may interpret it without reference to the context. In the first sentence, Kafka denies any highest moral authority ("a supreme tribunal") and any idea of absolute moral values ("strive to be good"). Rather, and this he sees as "very much the opposite," he wants to be "pleasing to everyone." What matters to him are not universal and absolute values but human relationships. This is clearly opposed to the mainstream of the European tradition as it is for instance expressed kafka, letter, amae, without, seems, passage, kafka's, even, context, sinner, out, love, human, felice, father, deception, baseness, world, wish, way, universal, indicates, however, especially, clearly, amaeru, act, above, wishes, view, values, tribunal, toriiru, sure, states, society, show, should, sense, respond, regard, really, psychology, point, please, one, mean, max, japanese, inherent, important
