infrathin : [neologism coined by Marcel Duchamp; definitions taken from his writings] The possible, implying the becoming — the passage from one to the other takes place in the infra-thin. Examples: fire without smoke, the warmth of a seat which has just beeen left, reflection from a mirror or glass, watered silk , iridescents, the people who go through (subway gates) at the very last moment, and velvet trousers, their whistling sound is an infra-thin separation signaled. Also, when tobacco smoke smells of the / mouth which exhales it the 2 odors / marry by infra-thin. The difference / dimensional / between 2 mass produced objects (from the same mould) is an infrathin when the maximum precision is / obtained.
…painting on glass, seen from this side without painting, creates the infrathin. The Interchange between what is put in view and the glacial observation of the public (that sees and immediately forgets). At least this exchange holds the value of an infrathin separation.

about the comment under happiness and how you are searching for answers.
i defenitly think that you should just enjoy life!
Instead of searching for the answers to life, the answers may come to you as you grow older and wiser.
Maybe the answers wont come to you.
Why would you find the answers if you were searching for them?
And what good would come out of the answers?
If the answers to life are “be kind be caring be loving and be loved” What would you do about that?
Would you be kind, caring, loving, and loved?
How would you do that?
And why? i mean really, whats going to happen if you understand and obey the secrets and answers to life?
You'll live forever? We all know no one can live forever and we all know that everyone has a shot at life and that everyone decides their own life in their own way.
So I believe you should discontinue your search and just enjoy your life! you only have one chance at life, so live your life wisely, happily, lovingly, and in a completely un-self centered mannor
