Re: Moderation?
Posted by Dooshby on 01-02-2008 in Marriage vs. CohabitationCrap, man, I am beginning to wonder if you do really talk like this in normal conversation. An aural delight, the ladies must call you. Cunning linguist.
Anyway, I learned somewhat about Zazen Buddhism today and a portion of the theories some of those meditative processes employ and I thought of our correspondence. Specifically, it was to think of something negative and to try to think of an antidote or positive reaction to it.
Thusly began my search into the beginning of this animosity, which I admit I instigated. One moment, I must go defecate in the middle here, but I shall return. Wonderful, I am back.
I think you explained about the capital letters in your last that got deleted and also a reference to the Russian masters and perhaps some ideological collaboration they may have had?
I desire to read what small portion of the books that inspired your erudition that I can, barring, of course, the dictionary.
It began with Ethics, I think. Please, refrain from your seemingly Newtonian method in speech with me if you do answer to this with a literary list, because I can't understand the things you type, often. I am but a layman endeavouring to reach up from ignorance.
If it would be more pleasing, my facebook is under K. Safdar Hussain, send me a message or poke me (whatever that does) and I'd be happy to correspond, assuming you also frequent that attention hotspot. New ideas are always welcome, especially when it comes to the so-called Classics, as I find that their meaning changes as I age. It is a neverending cycle: the same words again and again, and only a fraction more comprehension each time.
I would like to read your point of view.
Cheers

Evidently, a highly intelligent and literate conversation that I was having with Dooshby has been expunged from the Boards. It is interesting that his engaging and inviting encomium for my work (his first epistle to me; what a great guy!) has not also been deleted. But if the expurgated conversation was far too cerebral for this discussion board, then Doosbhy's original letter would surely need to be omitted as well. It is a supererogation of Dooshby's peculiar genius.
