Good Morning!

@Appleblossom @TAB @MDT

I love philosophy - I did a whole semester on Descartes - it's so long ago I can't remember all of it but still remember cogito ergo sum - I think therefore I am - I think a lot so I am really here -

So thanks for all those quotes form Nietzche - Hams - I will have to meditate on those - of course - wherever we go in life we will find ourselves when we get there - the good and the bad - we can own our achievements and not fear the darker side - we can choose our behaviour if not our past - that is immutable - but the future is ours indeed.

I'm sorry you are feeling delicate today Apple - best take it easy - life sometimes isn't.

And yes Tabby Cat - the truth of philosophy can be in the eye of the one who seeks - maybe it depends on what we are looking for. Reading it can be an exercise in linguistic versatility - those convoluted sentences can really test our knowledge of the lexicon and not always in just English - things can be lost - or found - in translation.

All the best today my friends

Gosh you speak ok write well @Owlunar

@ Tab is my name and Flippancy is my Game .. lol

Well said. Yes there are courses and books on how to interpret philosophy

@Appleblossom hope you are okay

hello and hugs @FloatingFeather , @TAB , @Owlunar , @Former-Member , @StuF , @Dimity , @Appleblossom , @Emelia8 , @Jacques , @tyme

saw the most beautiful little puppy Dashound yesterday at one of our jobs , wish we could of bring her home xxx

Courses yes of course - @TAB

I attended a course just before Covid and it was really weird - they wanted to talk about anything but philosophy.

Perhaps flippancy has a place in some quarters - I wish you had been there to be flippant during those disappointing classes - it would have been more entertaining.

Aw - I know the feeling @Shaz51

Hi @Shaz51

I guess it's pretty natural you would feel a bit aw after you visit your mother in aged care - that's can't be easy.

And your MIL needs a brain scan - aw - Mr Shaz might be feeling that - it must be an anxious time for both of you

I will be thinking of both of you

Thanks @TAB I'm not in the market for one at this moment but will put it on the backburner for the time being. I'm so glad I've got a solar phone charger though. I checked all the reviews on ebay and the one I got was highly recommended. If the electricity grid goes down I can charge my phone with solar energy! I used it today with the Ausnet people fixing electricity in the street and it recharges like a charm. Roughly took an hour to recharge my phone. I put it in my window sill so the solar panels are always absorbing light. Hello to @Owlunar @Shaz51 @StuF @Appleblossom and anyone else I may have missed

@TAB Thanks for care and the joke ... with @Owlunar

Am feeling a bit better. Still delicato, but navigating things ....

I started doing philosophy at uni ... and have books but never continued. Read my massive textbook on it, after graduating tho. I know someone who runs a philosophy cave ... a la plato ... had a few talks with him about the state of philosophy in education.

I think it is better to keep an open mind about it all ... and not get caught up in academic pedantry about it ... still love it ... of course Apple loves words ....

thanks for company ... over time ... and you too @MDT ... everyone has different qualities ... and it helps we are not all the same.
