wolven7Pizzicato Five - [Baby Love Child]--- Another set of essences and lessons in yielding. Giving up something to the nature of everything, and attaining harmony and union, that way. Meh.
The thing, yesterday, with the Responsibility and Choice and Transcendence was all because i hold those important. They aren't the only things, of course, at least not to me, but they're important. (Hellsing - [Divine Act of Satan]). The ability to move past that which would hold you back, to Chose your path and your meanings, in life, and the wherewithal to take responsibility for that which you've chosen. Being able to transcend that responsibility, if necessary, chosing to do so... Etcetera. I love braided thought currents, like that.
I've never read Albert Camus. I don't know his theories, or his thoughts, and i don't know title one of anything he ever wrote. My highschool principal, Lorraine Wilson, loved Camus. (Ella Fitzgerald - [I Get a Kick Out of You]). He was her favourite philosopher. I've always wanted to read some, and find out why, but i never have. Hm.
There is a reason that, even for Pluralists, and Perennialists, every religious tradition or philosophical set approaches the All from a set angle. Less stringent Pluralists, anyway, agree with the Perennialists, saying that people have to be presented a path to the Ultimate, from a perspective they'll understand. (LUXT - [Mary Megaladon]). More strict Pluralists, however, say that they're all Trying to see the same thing, but that only one of those views is the right answer. I cant remember the name for that, right now, so hold on a second. (Nellie McKay - [I Wanna Get Married]). Dogmatism. That's the one. Coming in the parts of Exclusivism and Inclusivism; Exclusivism holding that All Other Faiths, though pointing at the All, are wrong. Because they aren't Yours. Inclusivism says that, yes, you're Wrong, but you won't be damned for it, because you still get the basic meaning of the whole thing. (Nellie McKay - [Suitcase Song]). Read the works of John Hick, for more on that. The point of this little tangent is to say that, yeah, perspectives on it are all well and good, because it's hard to even think about, let alone grasp or truly comprehend Everything, but there comes that point when one needs to realise that the Perspective from which they approached the All is Not the All. Except that it is.
Smashing Pumpkins - [Eye]--- Everything being everything, and all. I've always wanted to understand all of the perspectives, as much as the totallity at their centre. And/Or their circumference, if those are going to be said to be different things. Where things lead, and where they come from, and where they are, would have to all be the same place, if you truly believe in a thing called infinity. Being sectioned doesn't negate the fact that it's Whole. Gears and Watches, as matters of points of view, and the goal being able to see the gears and the watch, total, at the same time. That kind of thing. Two people or a vase, old woman or young woman? Transparent cube top, or bottom? Yep.
Hum - [Ms. Lazarus]--- Things thought about... I need a library card, and a job. I don't have nearly enough books.
Later.
{You could be outvoted today, WOLVEN. You and your family members might be trying to make a decision about something. Maybe you are planning a trip or a vacation. You might want to do one thing, and your spouse and kids might want to do something else. If you can't come to an agreement, don't be afraid to give in. You'll still have fun doing what they want, so you're not really losing!
LUXT - [Cease]--- Interesting, on that. Speaking of which, time for more medicines.}

Camus
Date: 2004-03-07 09:56 pm (UTC)I'm reading The Fall right now. It's interesting stuff. A little hard to follow. But definitely, read The Stranger.
Re: Camus
You look familiarish, but i can't tell, from the icons. You obviously know some people i know, so... Who're you? :)
