Chapter 12 describes dialogue as an "Aesthetic Moment" on page 162-163, and defines it as "A fleeting sense of unity through a profound respect for disparate voices in dialogue." This boils down to the fact that no matter how precious or profound a moment may be, it will pass. This makes me sad when I think of the romantic times my wife and I have shared, or that my son is now 5 months old and these moments are gone forever, but happy because we still have a lifetime to create new ones. Every step of the way has its own joys and excitement.
In our own lives, it is important to make every moment count, treat it as if it were our last so that we don't regret one thing when our life is over. Life is so short, and these wonderful, "aesthetic" moments are makes it all worth living.
