I don't expect you to agree with me but I think my kinkuls explain our reality better than HDT's worms. He bought into the Epicurian (and other belief systems) dichotomy of body bad spirit good.
My reality says it is not good or evil. Our human condition just is and if we recognize it for what it is we can change how we train our Kinkul motels. Are you really glad I'm back? L

Re: kinkuls
Yes, Lawrence. Newton's Third Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." No resistance, no traction. Now, whatever makes you think that the ascetic Mr. Thoreau was epicurean?Lawrence wrote:I don't expect you to agree with me but I think my kinkuls explain our reality better than HDT's worms.

Irish Stew
Well Thomas, I couldn't call HDT one thing or another based on his writing. His writing presents thoughts pretty much like my mother made Irish Stew. She threw anything she had handy into the pot. I know I'm blaspheming your beloved but I like him just as I find him too.

Maybe, Lawrence, if you read a little closer you would suddenly see that the disparate parts unite in a single tasty whole -- like this:Lawrence wrote:Well Thomas, I couldn't call HDT one thing or another based on his writing.

Re: kinkuls
It appears as though Lawrence is referring to Epicurus's preference of intellectual pleasures over sensual ones. My understanding is that our popular notion of epicureanism is not according to what the man taught.Thomas wrote: Now, whatever makes you think that the ascetic Mr. Thoreau was epicurean?
