Deep Thoughts
Some questions seem to have more to them than meets
the eye. More under the surface than at first glance
A Bird, Thinking
Thinking about things
is a good thing. Then
again what is a good
thing. It seems from
Plato's conclusions that
it must be that which
makes people better.

Today I read a story about a blogger, "WordSmith at War", who went from 2,000 hits a year to 200,000 a year. He started out writing about the Iraq war and his day to day thoughts. It didn't take long to be noticed and after a brief period he is now even featured in Time magazine. The good news for him is that he wanted to be a writer and this is opening doors for him. See the site if your interested . http://wordsmithatwar.blog-city.com/
The Republic of Plato would not come up on my re read list for a while execpt that I found some folks interested in talking about Philosophy and was invited to join them later. Kathy expressed her approval writing me back on a email reminder I sent to just let her know I would be gone. "Good Times" perhaps was the essence of the message. Why email upstairs would be a good question if this presented all the facts. Why not, works for me is an answer. Anyway I opened the book. I had read it in colleage and a few times since. I liked what I had underlined during several of these occasions. In the introduction it says that Socrates stood aloof most but was anxious to inquire with anyone that cared to talk with him as to "what men should live for". Plato apparently answered the question by indicating that society could be reshaped in order that man might realize the best that was in him. That seemed to be the main theme of this book.

I do like this blog. My comment is very simple though - Some days you're the bird and some days your the faucet.. drink life, give life (or love or friendship)
Your sidebar looks really cool with the photos!
I haven't forgotten about the amazon thing - just haven't gotten to it yet :) will do it soon.
Your blog looks "mahvelous"!
