Dear Tympanic;
Merry Christmas to you and others on the list. The above was a marvelously
written discourse. The question of form, however, needs further
clarification, more so in view of Aristotle’s formulation of entelechy and
which I suspect Spinoza had in mind.
Sincerely;
Bernard

Sure, I was only suggesting more associations to the one’s that Allen added
rather than completing a thread. He was going back to an old thread on
Heidegger’s formal indication which adds other aspects you might not be
aware of. But… I was thinking further that, getting back to the link I
made between water and mercy or pardon that I mentioned to Anthony that in a
way the washing away of an offense follows the capacity to move not just
someone else to compassion and mercy but ourselves. We give pardon to
ourselves as much as we solicit it from others. That part of us and others
which is cold and a narcissistic individualist is what is address through
this graceful rhetoric. It’s not others who have selfish narcissistic
impulses as their problem but you as much as I just like anger, envy,
jelousy, resentment is not a problem of other people but of everyone. In the
same vein of thought, sadness (anger, envy, resentment) is part of
everyone’s experience of life. The expression of fine feelings which is a
way of turning phrases involves the removal of sadness or depressing
passivity which is why writing and reading can be seen as an energizing
activity that gives us joy. I care about this empty screen you know enough
to honor it and to want to make it sparkle like a shiny mirror where people
can see themselves.

Your mechanical “Dear” and “Sincerely” which you stole from Gary sounds
sincere today Bernard, Merry Christmas. I hope you are happily enjoying your
family during the holidays. Only this business about holy water instigated
by the trolls I suspect gave me the wherewithal to bring meaning to the
holidays and experience genuine joy. I salute the trolls!

Cheers,
Tympan
Dear Tympan;
Calling me a thief negates your sweet slush. Many happy returns.
Bernard
