Random Building Thoughts - 2021-02-24

-------------- HUMOR --------------

-------------- STABILITY? --------------

-------------- TWISTED MEANNESS --------------

Sane men know there’s a clear and distinct difference

between the terms, “not required” and “required not”.

The former conveys options available but not necessary;

the later conveys restrictions that are not to be violated.

A man who thinks that they are the same,

and reports this to others as if they are,

is a danger to both himself

and those he makes effort to influence.

What's more,

they cannot be trusted to speak any truth,

for they deliberately, and with evil purpose,

twist your words

to sway others in unbrotherly ways

toward unbrotherly ends.

-------------- MYTH --------------

"In the Levant, the stress is always on obeying. The idea is that God has given a revelation that is encompassed in a book, in a statement. This goes for Zoroastrianism, for Judaism, for Christianity, for Islam -- all of the religions out of the Near East. In each case there is a book, a revealed truth, and one doesn’t quibble with that. One finds out what it says, and one who does quibble with that is by definition an evil person, a person who has lost touch with the truth and is an outcast, a heretic. Whole races, whole worlds, can fall away."

-- Joseph Campbell, Myths of Light, p. 66

Yes... and if this continues his train of thought as to religions being myth, what does this say?

-------------- WISDOM --------------
