and yet again

i'd visited a particular blog in the hours of morning madness - and voila! i found a thinker!

an MSc holder of radiation physics, he thinks in terms of socrates and confucius. philo. mm. :)

i admire people like that, for while i admire those who know philo, i'm not much into philo myself, thus i do not know much about it. guess that means we complemented each other that way, him and i. but as i said, i like people who talk philo because they can show me how they think, why is that manner of thought so great, to come to a bulbous idea that 'so very plainly' bespeaks ingenuity.

it's refreshing to be presented ideas from alien beings whose names i'm familiar with through sheer repetition but whose ideas i had never heard of. if only someone would speak to me about them, teach me something, bait me a little with philo and set me thinking.

..or i can go get that book. or that SET of books that i saw at kino, on philo from nitsche to whatzisname - costs hundred-odd bucks. but oh, i was so very tempted, to finally see what the various philosophers have to say about so many things in life. i must get that set of books one of these days.


..it also looks like after i lost one i found one. maybe you can only have a certain number of a kind of people in your life.


but oh golly, can't we choose which we want? or can we have them all?
