Hi Joe, Yes, Quality is more like music than an edifice. We have some convinced that Quality has the four walls of inorganic, biological, social, and intellectual, when in actuality it can equally be considered as a symphony. We have some that take the division of dynamic and static literally, and then perform an Aristotelian break-down of these components seeking truth. Put enough words together, and it will give the appearance of truth. And taking it as such we get completely stuck. There is no music on a page of paper. We do not create a building out of music. We do not project music out or backward to make it sensible. We just enjoy it.
Comparing things is simply comparing things. It assumes that such comparison is a valid presentation of Quality. I love my children. What do I compare that to so as to make it real in a relativistic world, not loving them? Do I need to measure the love so as to place it in reality? I create music using Garageband on my Mac. How do I compare the act of creation? Is it to lack of creation? Do I consider one act of creation relative to another? Do I give one occurrence a "10" and another a "2"? I like the color blue, but relative to what? Not liking the color blue? My liking of the color red? So, blue becomes better relative to red, what exactly does that say? It is a preference, wow imagine that. I try to do things the best I can, not because of some relative notion, but because I want to. What is "best"? Well the relativist would say that it is better than "not so best". What a snarly idea! Betty Botter bought a bit of butter. The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter And made her batter bitter. But a bit of better butter Makes better batter. So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter, Making Betty Botter's bitter batter better. Arghh! I've got callouses on my lips!
