Hi J-A, You ask a good question. I like good questions>
Is there a way, is it possible to make classic and romantic oriented people > to understand each other? I think yes. Two things are necessary - first, realization. When classic people understand that romantic people think differently, and vice - versa, it helps. But only helps. The other thing you have to have is caring. You have to want to be understood and you have to want to understand. You have to work at it, and you have to care in order to work. I think ZAMM itself comes out as an answer to this conundrum - Think of it as a classically - oriented Phaedrus, through the narrator, trying to get John and Sylvia to understand. He knew there was a difference in their thinking, and he cared enough to get it all written down. And in the end, I think he succeeded for many people. I think more romantic people understand classic ones (and the classic in themselves as well - for we're all a mixture in the end) and vice versa, because of that work, that caring. So there's an answer. Altho, imo, Lila took this problem up much more explicitly and directly, and thus is my fave of the two books - but they go together so that's kinda silly. Thanks for asking. Where do we put Bodvar? > > Jan-Anders > > Ha! Almost a good question. The real question, is where does Bodvar put himself? Bo is alive and communicating avidly in another venue and recently Tim commented there: (about somebody saying Bo hit the nail on the head) [Tim] Maybe he hit the nail on the head, but it is one of those nails that is all bent from a previous mis-hit and he's hitting it on the head, pointing it into the wood all away from the nail hole, just to avoid the effort of extracting the nail and using a new one. > Priceless, this stuff. > John > > Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
