This is the P&S forum, so it seems like at least a minimal explanation should be given if one is requested in a kind manner.  That said, I won't prod you any further. :japsmile:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

"the" I doubt anyone understands my backwards thinking ass though



I like it.
just because some languages do not even have a definite article or an indefinite article - this proposal still holds water!
THE
or
THIS
maybe
or
THUS
even
DUH?
all of which involve an approach to (attitude) or attention towards something(s).
and this attitude or attending means FACING
and a very deeply engrained human feature is
the FACE
(maybe roundabout, but not backwards IMO)

It is a reference to Douglas Adams book "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". The answer to everything is "42".

Can't do it in one word, but 2 words;

"Simply Wonderful"  :sunny:

You are a fortunate person indeed, if you can begin each day accepting the fact that during that day there will be ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones, disappointments, surprises, and unexpected turns of events.

When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

There is no connection necessarily between a system being chaotic and cognition playing a greater role in the system.

No, not in all cases, but it's also true that in many cases, a chaotic system is a motivation. It's just a part of the human nature :shrug:
