Gorean Philosophies

[damyanti]

A book contains a story. And a story can be enjoyable to many, and unenjoyable to the same amount of people. Some may make a stand against it, making rallies to bar its existance, while others stand for it, creating societies of people who follow aspects of that story.

To gain happiness from a story can be a good thing. To try and make happiness from it is a completely different ideal. And to take a life from a story is not always a good idea. You make your own life, that shouldnt involve living others.



Very good subject matter and debate in the thread though.

As Goldendawn so eloquently stated it is the philosophy between the lines of the books that we are speaking about.

The only "story" we live by is the one in our own hearts.

The only "Life" that we make is or own.

And the philosophy between the lines of the books comes from your heart! Perhaps its because I like books so much, but I dont see nothing wrong with that.


(I already stated my opinion on the thread, so I am not going to repeat it.)
The reason I am posting again (no, I am not disagreeing with anyone, lol), is because the last few posts reminded me of some things. (Yes, I know the value of human life and I am not trying to diminsh that), but what always strikes me as the most barbaric of crimes is when people distroy history, monuments and most of all, burn (enemy) books....probably because those things represent an attempt to destroy the meaning, the soul and the heart of the people.

I hope one day I can truly get at heart, not just head, the words you and Goldendawn speak. And whether, at that time, I choose to call myself kajira, submissive or flying monkey, it will be nobody elses business.
