Though more with not your causes than not with mine.
But no doubt you have read Kukolnik’s play?
No…I started to read it, but after a while I seemed to lose interest, and I was still on the title.
Not unlike some reactions here to my posts. And [of course] yours.
Mr. Moon felt as if the conversation was a weight he had to drag along on the end of a rope.
If not a ball and chain.
How is a juggler you can’t hear or see or smell or touch different to no juggler at all?
Let’s ask them.
Knowledge is good. It does not have to look good or sound good or even do good. It is good just by being knowledge. And the only thing that makes it knowledge is that it is true. You can’t have too much of it and there is no little too little to be worth.
On the other hand, does this count?
Schelling’s God is the totality of Nature struggling towards consciousness, and Man is as far as the struggle has got, with the animals not too far behind, vegetables somewhat lagging, and rocks nowhere as yet. Do we believe this? Does it matter? Think of it as a poem or a painting. Art doesn’t have to be true like a theorem. It can be true in other ways. This truth says there is a meaning to it all, and Man is where the meaning begins to show.
Does this mean what I think that you think it means? Or, instead, is it really true?
