Reflection
Are good days really good days or only good days in comparison to the crappy days leading up to them? your thoughts please. i mean, it really could go both ways, right? your good day might be a totally unexpected good day that had nothing to do with anything else, other than it being a good day. OR it could be a good day because you have been having crappy days and your day is the first step upwards. in other words....i'm having a great day. :-) the sun is shining wonderfully and today is starting on the right foot. Alas....West. Theo. Trad reading is looming like a dark cloud on my day, screaming at me to finish it FINALLY and just get it over with! But, as with every new relationship( i haven't read steadily in awhile) , i'm taking it a bit slowly at first and hopefully(if all goes well) accelerate it later on. God willing. I'm out!

are you TRYING to make me hate philosophy again??? ;-) i give you a simple little thought and you put it into a theophilosophical conglomeration. but i liked it.
ReplyDeletehehe. that was fun!
ReplyDeletewell, Good is Good, completely independently of the existence of evil- if you don't believe me, read about the dualists, and see how stupid they sound when they say the opposite.
ReplyDeletethat doesn't mean i can't decide to have a good day just because nothing particularly crappy happened though. : )
*here's to having a good day today!*
I agree, good is independent of existence from evil- we don't need evil to experience good. But life is more complicated than that- there are flavors that tinge good and bad days, and it depends on what your tastes are. I ALSO would say it isn't enough for nothing bad to happen; most of my good days were ones of extremes- a rainbow and orange blossoms after a thunderstorm. A great day consists of the unexpected- the cherries in the bottom of the sundae of life.
ReplyDeleteWow, Mona, I was going to leave an inane, lighthearted comment, but I can see that your blog is no place for silliness! Only the deepest, most profound comments belong here. One should only use words of sesquipedalian proportions. Therefore, I have abandoned my indefatigable pursuit of silliness, and vow to maintain a more solemn and somber demeanor in order to facilitate the mysterious gravity that your blog and comments propagate.
