The Yin and Yang of Personal Characteristics
    #6975710 -

Carrying any seemingly positive characteristic or activity to its extreme turns it into a negative.

Dedication -> Obsession

Playfulness -> Irresponsibility

Fitness & health oriented -> Narcissism

Confidence -> Arrogance

Mellow -> Apathetic

Creator of Interesting threads -> Post Whore

...and so on.

This is very much along the line of Aristotle's ethics. He believed that there was no such thing as being too virtuous because virtue lay in moderation.

Good or bad... hot or cold...

Its been done before but absolution is no way to go especially in characterizations, more so in beliefs. Relative absolution works, but only relatively speaking.

I can't, its an absolute, who's value I don't believe to exist beyond a conceptual parameter.

Beyond that show me that nothingness you speak of, I'm interested in hearing what others define it to be... I've literally made posts aabout absolution and nothingness in the past but to no avail.

Oh, and a question to a question isn't an answer.

so your saying nothingness is not absolute?

When did I say that?

edit:
Nothingness is an absolute, and simply doesn't exist. I ask you to even show me a touch of nothing, not in its absolute sense and even that will be something, it exists conceptually but beyond the concept it and itself is something.

O i thought you did. I think its interesting that Hindu methods of enlightenment are methods of extremism: aestheticism and seclusion.

extreme moderation.

Extremism and absolution are two different things.

Extremism is ok to the extent that you have parameters for escaping them, but absolution such as the statement that all Jews control the world, that leave no precursor for another determinant will result in no good.
