Fracture

What ever happened to philosophy of that quality. Notice they're all long-past masters?

Good clip, Sorgalim.

But I am still itchy from the previous spider, you know the one that was the size of a dinner plate.

...We
live but for a moment"

Thank you, Fracture, as well.

There are people like that today, They just don't make much noise, and they don't make the news, but what these men have said has remained in our language.If something is true, the words endure.

Thank you pokkets...I really like those words.."If something is true, the words endure."

But you know what Fracture? I think that you are a philosopher too...

The Riddle of Epicurus

That is true Laceym...We can find something interesting for each of us...

Epicurus could deal with evil as a definition, while evil in human terms cannot be seen as an absolute. The word can be used to describe something transient with the implication that it is perpetual. Sometimes we give something that is bad too much credit by calling it evil. Words that inspire reflection can provide a more objective view, or allow us to shake off preconceptions.
