I have never been wont to make overt my hatred of Aristotle for the venereal disease he infected human reasoning with at its inception in the western world. In truth I hate the way that people invoke him because actually reading something by him, like his ethics, makes its own errors easy to see. In I can recall two glaring errors.

I find people's lack of vision to be continually dismal. I understand most learning to be all in accord so that my studying english is just the way that my learning has become manifest.

Both would promote an idea of selflessness and for a long time I hated myself. Now I don't think anything of myself at ( Read more... )

"It is bad when on thing becomes two. One should not look for anything else in the Way of the Samurai. It is the same for anything called a Way. Therefore, it is inconsistent to hear something of the Way of Confucius or the Way of the Buddha, and say that this is the Way of the Samurai. If one understands things in this manner, he should be able ( Read more... )

i will never understand this but it seems to be only way i will be can live. i get comments back on a paper about how i improved the stuff that i was told about and didn't in the stuff that i was either supposed to already know, or assumed to know. i suck at formal writing, this is for a class on technical communication, no shit, right ( Read more... )
