A Philosophical moment..

[scooterscot]

It Monday the 19th 2010 9:39am and thought seems clear to me at the minute so I wonder...

If nostalgia appeared before you and said 'Welcome back', I wonder if a tear would be shed for the loss of today and the days that follow. A history reminisced is one worthy of preservation, whether good or bad; without this how else can righteous that we seek become us?

It's Tuesday today.

Have you been "losing a few days here and there" for long?

[scooterscot]

Gosh so it is.

I work, cough, Monday's from home...

[Bunk]

There you go kids, don't do drugs.

[Jeebo72]

There you go kids, don't do drugs.

Do drugs, just don't ever stop.

And what is good scooterscot, and what is not good -- need we ask anyone to tell us these things?
EO's answer is no, we merely need someone to show us that we already know. But if we don't need anyone to tell us that we don't need telling, and if, in the awkward event of our really not knowing what is good, no amount of telling will help you, then EO is out of business.
Knowledge is not what we learn and study and cram. Knowledge is what we recollect. Nostlagia is fond recollection and is valued in the story teller, that beware of sick sentimentality that is valued by the bogus

If we already know why so often do we choose to ignore it? Are our memories that short? No. Perhaps discipline of the mind? What of honour? Distractions are plenty in today's world it's a wonder there is time enough to understand our nature never mind reflect upon it.

Good is such a harsh word. Perhaps this is better described as any accomplishment that brings people closer together not through conflict or disaster but moral reasoning; but then again can good ever by good without the bad? What's that saying... The sweet is never as sweet without the sour.

Our very nature is a constant balance of opposing conflicts, until I favour one over the other.

What is good ?

In our world form and substance dominate all. Good is a relatively minor branch of knowledge called ethics where reason, logic, knowledge are our primary concerns. The Hindu concept of the good is dead and we bequeath to our children science, logic and 'the system'.

The good used to be the source of everything, in everything you do try to be excellent. Its been relegated

[Clippy]

Buy a mac.

[scooterscot]

I've got 3 already but a 4th would be good.

Was thinking of the quad processor Mac with 16G of RAM, I've got a couple of excel sheets I'd like to run on it.
