Feelings, ideas, thoughts, moods have very little meaning of their own since they are ephemeral, but they acquire meaning in the context of a history. An episode goes some way in this direction but it is only as part of an entire life that they yield whatever it is that they contain. In this way events come as the answer to certain questions concealed within prior events, and it is the disclosure of that otherwise inaccessible ontological thickness to experience that lends it significance. You would like to short-circuit this process but you cannot because in spite of narratives and histories there is no formal character to this meaning. This has to do with time and is the proper way to approach the idea of temporalisation.
