Philosophy- The Spiral Staircase. | The Writers' Cafe



Philosophy- The Spiral Staircase. The Writers' Cafe
: "Life as we experience it is rarely just one straight and direct line from point A to point B. Perhaps if life was like that then perhaps life itself would not be so very interesting. I imagine one of my readers dropping his head into his hands at this point and saying to himself “interesting, that’s what you call my endless tsuris, struggles and aggravation, interesting!” yes exactly!
If you think deeply about it (as us philosophers often do) just about any single happy memory you may have, most likely has some aspect of sadness or melancholy contained within it. Or, if you prefer, perhaps some of our sadest moments may hold some aspect of joy (even if it is of a bittersweet nature) within it."

The Writers' Cafe

The Writers' Cafe:
"In order to eat chocolate ice cream, you will need some ice cream, and a spoon would be nice.

In order to blog, you will need a computer, some way to connect to the Internet, some sort of text editor (wysiwyg: what you see is what you get, works well), some sort of host (be it Google or Word Press) an Internet browser (that’s the icon you click on that takes you away into the Internet world) and a keyboard would be nice!

editors note: Blogging is better than eating chocolate ice cream not necessarily simpler.

If you eat chocolate ice cream too fast, you might get an ice headache.

If you blog too fast you might make a few typos, a much different sort of headache.

While your eating chocolate ice cream, you might be tempted to do something else. If you do something else while eating chocolate ice cream, you might spill your ice cream, and make a mess."
