Exploring Closure, Narrative, and Philosophy in the Modern Age

Closure is seen as providing events with meaning and significance, making them opaque rather than transparent. It brings an end to events, allowing forgiveness to occur, contrasting the endless moralism prevalent on social media. Closure is intertwined with cyclicity and narrative, enabling past actions to be contextualized and not hold equal weight to present moments. In the digital age, data accumulation lacks a narrative context and prevents the possibility of starting anew or receiving forgiveness.
