Thx , Marshmellow "Mephisto: All right. But do not plague yourself too anxiously; For just where no ideas are The proper word is never far. With words a dispute can be won, With words a system can be spun, In words one can believe unshaken, And from a word (not) tittle can be taken.
-- Seems to be so that the core-theme is about the same as "you have the words ,but that is all." I'll always liked to play with words, reformulating a sentence , an abstraction or a word,...reformulating a formulation even,but never to inflate it, or to deflate it. Allow me an example. "Creativity" is both indefinable and infinite definable, every attempt to define it will be passed over by creativity itself, etc.. Morality is both indefinable and infinite etc....i can go on forever.Its a dynamical universe,and the toolbox is filled with depth.
