Wow, that’s too too familiar, I Am. Strangely, I say the same thing, write it everywhere, books, wall except, for now, my blog. Luv it.
And they can keep their morals esp in the context you speak. As well as their forms, their norms.
Thanks for stopping through; your comments are greatly appreciated. And yes, the I am; what is, we are.
Your grandfather passed wisdom…. very interesting blog….
Interesting blog so far, seems we share similar ideas. Going to be a good read, I can tell. *Insert witty closing comment here*
Thanks for the comment. I’ll be watching your blog closely as well;)
Thanks for the blog visit. You’re fascinating, and this is a great blog. *adds*
Great Blog ! Really an inspiration, keep blogging!
Thanks for stopping through–I appreciate your comment as well:)
I hope your not like Nietzsche. For all his talk about being a superman he suffered terribly. I very much hope that your intensity burns up the problems in your life rather than burning you up as they did with Nietzsche.Details about someone’s life can reveal a great deal about what is behind their words. Nietzsche may have been trying desperately to be strong when he was feeling vulnerable and his posturing and talk of superman were a way of struggling with some kind of deep hurt. So I really hope you are not as tormented a soul as he was.
Bencheche, I could go into four directions with my reply—however, just thinking about it, well, those directions are not needed. I will chose this path—as it is poignant, yet simple: To insinuate there are problems in my life based on my correlation with Nietzsche discloses an anemic—yet narrowness and appreciation of his philosophical contribution to this world. Suffering does not always entail a sort of fallibility or frailness in ones existence—albeit, to buttress courage without the appeasement of others takes a strong back—the yellowness of cowardice cannot reside in the same place.
You mistake my intensity (to abase my problems?) for diversity and strength—and at the same time; I have mistaken aesthetically, eccentric spiritualistic people (most of them) as unique—when in actuality it is a caricature to veil the lackadaisical, mediocrity of bliss.
Thanks for your concern however.
I wasn’t insinuating anything. Maybe I am the one who lacks mental stability. As the Somalis say ‘a thief thinks everyone else is a thief’. It was more a comment on Nietzche than you mate. That’s why I prefer speach to wrting. You make more subtle judgements based on peoples reactions.
That’s cool, no pun intended. At times I can take offense to assertions not really there; I guess I am use to slight subtle remarks from others based on past experiences.
All is good though; I still enjoy your comments. I’ll be visiting your blog later today.
Thanks for visiting my blog, I will be reading yours!
Read a couple of ur lines
amazing as usual …
Thanks Kat; your comments are genuine as usual;)
on an unrelated note, due to the attitude I encountered from the anonomous blogger, I would be happy to dialogue with you directly, in area’s of difference from my belief, as to the standard belief’s which are held by most denominations, and you might be surprised that there are also many who believe as i do, who no longer attend any formulted religion, or denominational church, which is becoming more common, amongst those who call themselves Christian, but can not subscribe to the cult like followings and teachings of the established churches.
I’ll have to figure out a way to send you my email so that I don’t get inundated with crap from people that hate religion, which has nothing to do with God or the concepts of life and death.
i went to reply last night, and i’m not sure if wordpress booted out my comment, or if i was blocked by you, in which case, if it is the latter, then I apologize if i have offended you in some manner.
Not at all James; you’ve never offended me. Maybe there was a glitch in the system.
