A philosophy thread.

Good to see you back with your old avatar Tom...changing avatars is confusing you know..
If, this dude, can get away with combining playing 'classical music' professionally, and 'body sculpting' - There must be, a Life 'philosophy' moral, in here, somewhere!? ..{chuckle}

Meet Mr Arto Vainio, clarinet & bass clarinet player at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet.
Arto says: ‘I am probably the only bass clarinet player in the world who has, within one week, played the complete Ring des Nibelungen and done 14 extremely demanding gym sessions.’

" 'Kafkaesque' Nightmare," to be Sure!
Even, 'answers' when 'spot on' are prone to criticism. For example, 'JC's, famous answer, at his 'trial'.. in response to the 'Roman emperor's posed question, re. 'Tell us the truth' was classic ..Ie. Answering the question, 'tell us the truth'{?}.. with, 'What is Truth'? .. was classic!
Those who weren't aware of that 'trial's, 'charade' aspects.. Or, for that matter - Of the 'defendant's, role-playing, a prophetic, pre-ordained, script - Are at a distinct disadvantage, in assessing, what was going on, there! o:
Pontius Pilate asked 'what is truth?'
Just saying.
Just saying.
In, answer to 'Tom's query, re. 'moi' ..
"Complete abstention, is better than 'perfect moderation' " {Saint Augustine}.
..Ps. Long ago, I gave in, to the offer, of having a 'drink' of some {alcohol}, sort.. And, it wasn't long, before my 'tongue' seemed to have a 'mind' of its' own! .. Resulting in, well merited, criticism!

Thanks S23.
Pure of spirit. Nice idea.
I've given up looking for the truth myself.
I'm happy I've found it.
I guess religious guys like yourself S23 feel certain you know the truth too.
It's interesting that two people with absolutely differing views can both be sure they are right.
