Thank all of you for this discussion today.

Look into Wen-tzu, Chuang-Tzu and Lao-Tzu in comparison, style and thoughts. I would like to hear the discussion.

"The Art of War" & Other Eastern Classics of Eastern Philosophy. I love that one. "The Redbook" Libra Novus CJ Jung edited and with Sonu Shamdasani, 2009. That book I thrive in. Now, "The Matter With Things" Our Brains and the Unmaking of the World, Ian McGilchrist. 2 volumes 1800 pages. Now, this will be a journey for me to digest. What I may be capable of in some areas and not in others. I love philosophy and world histories, religious works, literature, poetry, music and art, and sciences. Subsequently, all is a growing of knowledge with wisdom no matter which century. It has to move forward. Bleaching from past minds is equally important. How the elites have been educated within a box, which has importance. Insofar as I may concur, it is equally important to have those to be able to exercise their own path where other ideas may also be of use. I have gone through major ones in philosophy and history, plus there are many I have never heard of. I am open to wisdom. I have just made it through Michael Foucault , who was an extraordinary thinker in our day. He passed away in 1984 with aids. But we.... who are we? (Plontinus) Heraclitus? All of these roads are magnificent. No comments from me. LOL. I am just a reader of many books, as I never got the opportunity to go to college. I thrive on lectures given by many in different areas of expertise that one may listen to and learn more.

Why be good... ?? Wow! You know what is GOOD. Where have you been hiding? I was convinced good/bad is too confusing - not to be known. Taking any action (even thinking) is a bad/good gamble . Explain what is good first please. I am all ears.
