          If nostalgia appeared before you and said 'Welcome back', I wonder if a tear would be shed for the loss of today and the days that follow. A history reminisced is one worthy of preservation, whether good or bad; without this how else can righteous that we seek become us?
          Am I the only one who wasn't got a fooking clue what you're talking about?

              In our world form and substance dominate all. Good is a relatively minor branch of knowledge called ethics where reason, logic, knowledge are our primary concerns. The Hindu concept of the good is dead and we bequeath to our children science, logic and 'the system'.

              The good used to be the source of everything, in everything you do try to be excellent. Its been relegated

                absolutely. actually a montage of Platos dialectic with phaedrus, Aristotles apologia of Plato, Pirsigs take on the Sophists
                and EO's humble view of story telling

                  The truth..

                  We're nothing more than a collection of complex structures which must dissipate through the shortest path available, whether that path be distance or energy spent, there can be no escaping it.

                  The good.
