(Note: Neither of these Conceptions have anything to do with the Immaculate Conception, or the technical aspects of the origin of Souls in Aristotle's "On the Soul." Give me a break.)
Thusly, I present:
On Truth
With the Pinnacles of Modern Philosophy:
- Helena The author of this blog. Studied philosophy for two wretched years before disserting to the Elyssian Fields of Geology.
- SD: My
beastiebestie (best friend). Studied philosophy for 1.5 even wretched-er years before fleeing to a land ofpaint & puppiesArt & Animal Advocacy.
12:35am: Helena: But I don't possess social graces?
12:35am: SD:Nah, still assert you're socially adept, babe.
12:43am: Helena: Socially lame.
12:43am: SD: Only so if you think so. Think otherwise & it'll be so. We create our own cosmos. (Realizing this is one source of my recent optimism.)
12:44am: Helena: WHAT?
12:44am: SD: What what?
12:44am: Helena: The cosmos does not bend to the will of individuals.
12:45am: SD: That it does, love, that it does.
12:45am: Helena: There are facts and laws upon which the world is based.
12:45am: SD: Your age-worn empiricism'll do nothing to cripple that unerring beauty that one woman can create.
12:45am: Helena: One of which happens to be that I am socially inept.
12:45am: SD: Make it otherwise!
12:45am: Helena: But, by your own assertion, there is beauty in truth.
12:45am: SD: But truth is relative.
12:48am: Helena: Most truths are not relative, however.
12:48am: SD: Would argue that truths about one's person who most always subject to flux.
12:49am: Helena: (Give me about 10 min: kitten has pooped in corner again. Must point fellow to box & clean up.)
1:08am: Helena: Anyway.
1:09am: Helena: Truths about one's person may slowly change over time, based on outside interferences: that does not mean that truthful perceptions of said truth at any given time can vary.
1:11am: Helena: WHY ARE YOU IGNORING MY BRILLIANCE? God. It's like you have a life and hobbies other than me.
1:30am: SD: (decided to take a walk in my absence, some such nonsense.)

We're like the next Plato/Socrates.
But who gets to be the Overbearing Wino Boy-lover, and who gets to be the Silent Transcribing Wino Boy-lover?
Mabye you can be both?
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I think it is possible to completely change a truth about yourself. I've done it. It does take time, and it takes dedication, but it can be like flipping a switch. Sometimes. Mabye.
I can't say I've had much luck with self-begun changes - but I don't have much self-control, so...The weirdest thing is when something changes without your knowledge or attention.But I find that, usually, at one's core, one remains the same.
ReplyDeleteI still cannot comprehend why this trivial piece of philosophic fluff is the second most visited page on my blog, nor why it continues to receive hits every month.
