Heavenletters

Chuck, it's a wonderful thing to be able to acknowledge that someone else, in this case Theophil, is absolutely right. He is, but that doesn't automatically make your over-generalization "an example of an unattractive tendency". I bet that what you said about civilization comes from some experiential background and contains something important and valuable for you. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's one thing to know that I want to choose my words mindfully and that I long to leave judgment behind; it's another thing to be aware of the fact that a lot, a lot still remains to be accomplished for civilization to be truly civilized.

I happily and laughingly agree to "leave the discussion of what is real and unreal to another day." Whatever we need to talk about will come up again anyway. For now, let's read this Heavenletter again. It is marvelous.
