When we shall have been so prepared by the art of discourse or of reason, then, inspired by the spirit of the Cherubim, exercising philosophy through all the rungs of the ladder --- that is, of nature --- we shall penetrate being from its center to its surface and from its surface to its center. At one time we shall descend, dismembering with titanic force the ``unity'' of the ``many,'' like the members of Osiris; at another time, we shall ascend ...
A little later in time, Spearchucker says it even better in Hamlet II:2:
... that this goodly frame the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy the air, look you, this brave o'er hanging firmament, this majestical roof, fretted with golden fire: why, it appeareth no other thing to me, than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is man, How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, In form and moving how express and admirable, In action how like an Angel, In apprehension how like a god, The beauty of the world, The paragon of animals. And yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither; though by your smiling you seem to say so.
FUCK YOU MARY WAS A VIRGIN, ASSHOLE!Quote:

Stomping it!

I find it interesting how some people have a definitive answer and others will say "I have no clue". The ones the say they have no clue seem to be happier IMO
We are here to ski. Our purpose is to ski as much as possible.

If your question is more along the lines of is it okay to be selfish about skiing sometimes, the answer is yes, it's not only okay but it's required.Quote:

More often that we like, though, it is as my signature says.
If everyone strive for perfection, have a sense of purpose, give the BEST of them to achieve the GREATEST, the world would have been so better place.
Not everyoneQuote:

Well, at least I still get to ski anytime/anywhere I want. I got that going for me.
I was walking along a narrow sidewalk outside a bakery and the smell of fresh hot bread was wafting out and a beautiful woman in form fitting leather pants was approaching under cover of an umbrella. Her heels were striking the cobblestones seductively and I looked away so as not to be too creepy and my eyes fell to the sidewalk where they gazed upon a large dog turd where someone had stubbed out a cigarette butt.
This pretty much sums up France.
Anyways, I bent my knees and stuck out my elbows, like a linebacker in a 1960s football card, forcing her off the fecal sidewalk and into the street. She probably thought I was having a stroke.
I have no idea why I am here. Maybe my purpose was to save a beautiful woman from getting mushy dog shit all ove her expensive boots on some random Monday afternoon. If so, that's ok with me.
