Are you going through my posts looking for errors? I can save you the trouble
and admit to making lots of mistakes.
dmb says:
No, I'm not looking for errors. I tend to comment on the errors that are so
glaring and jarring that they just jump out at me. I mean, it's not exactly a
subtle mistake to construe the wise fool as a "pure fool" or a "poor fool". In
doing so, a very dynamic archetype of the hero becomes an entirely negative
figure. He is Bugs Bunny, the Brujo at Zuni and Lance the surfer in Apocalypse
Now. He's Bill Hicks and Alan Ginsberg. I especially like this description:
"The trickster is a very important archetype in the history of man. He is a
god, yet he is not. He is the wise-fool. It is he, through his creations that
destroy, points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies of man. He
rebels against authority, pokes fun at the overly serious, creates convaluted
schemes - that may or may not work - plays with the Laws of the Universe and is
sometimes his own worst enemy. He exists to question, to cause us to question &
not accept things blindly. He appears when a way of thinking becomes outmoded
needs to be torn down built anew. He is the Destroyer of Worlds at the same
time the savior of us all."
You can take this correction as a form of persecution or you can take it as an
opportunity to divest yourself of a misconception. I think it would be wise to
pick the latter. Don't you think it would be better FOR YOU? You don't want to
ignore the facts of the matter just to spite me, do you? You'd only be hurting
yourself, which would be foolish, no?

Sorry less the correction position in ever minutes.
