Arts & Humanities - 11 October 2006

My library is having a fundraiser on the 4th of November on Broadway in La Porte TX of vintage books from the 1830s to present the last fundraiser only made 75.00. Even though we had over 20,000 books the money goes to the children’s programs, which run 300.00 a program, and all or most unsold books are one or the other donated to a church or {shudder here} recycled.
My question is if you could make it would you.

Here's my argument for no:
P1: If you want to be loved, you first have to love.
P2: Love is selfless; i.e. you can only love without wanting anything in return.
P3: I want to be loved.
By P1 and P2, if I want to be loved, I can't love, because I can only love selflessly. Add in P3, I want to be loved, but I can't love, so I can't be loved either. Thus, if everyone who wants love cannot love or be loved, love is not possible.
But please tell me my premises or logic is wrong, because I don't like being so pessimistic.

Do you worry about what's going to happen when you get here?

I feel like the afterlife is going to happen to me, and it is nothing I can do about it, like it is meant to be?

And the thing is that I don't want to make a mistake that would lead me to see the afterlife. I just sometime have the urge.

Do you have a sudden urge to see the afterlife?

I am just so scared of making that mistake, what is the afterlife?

Are you scared that you would make a mistake that would send you to the afterlife?

I am just worry about death is going to come to me at a young age such as 21

Walking around Washington or New York I feel like I am in a mausoleum. Roman letters & dates, Greek, Corinthian, Roman columns - seems irrelevant today.

I know you're not supposed to do this, but one day a good last line just popped into my head. It is the last thing the girl says for her valedictorian speech,as all her friends are running onto the stage, etc. (yes, I am ending on a quote.)
"If I have learned one thing from living here, it is about life and friends. Nobody is pefect, but life isn't about finding friends with the least faults, it's about finding and accepting people who's fault's you can put up with."
I feel it captures my message, and has a good, but unusual moral not often given. Do you agree?

In any kind of existence that exists of nothing what so ever for eternity, out of that eternity of nothing, nothing will not form something, this is why it seems there either has to be a beginning, such as something that makes all existence exist, or something that exists for always and hence has always existed.
To make existence to exist seems improbable, since existence has to come from something.

this here is for speech, an intrepretation it's when you read something speak for the characters. I can do a "Dramatic Interpretation" or a "Humerous" or "Duo Interpretation" (i don't want to do Duo because I don't have enough time to practice w/ a partner) You are not suppose to move feet feet from w/ though, it's called "acting from the waist up" and mine need to be 5 minutes long.

Problem is: I don't know what I should do my reading on for the interpretation!
-got any suggestions?

For my infant, who live but 18 hrs
As the pure snoe-drop, child of April Tears
Shook by the rough winds desolating breath
Scarce o'er the chilly sod its low head rears
and trembling dies upon the paren health
So my lost boy, arrayed in fancys charms
to the cold tyrant strected his feeble arms
and struggling sighed his lil life away
as not in vain the early snow-drop rose
thu short its date and heard the withering gale
since its pale bloom ethereal balm bestows
and cheers with vernal hope and wasted vale
my perished child, dear pledge of many a pain!
torn from this ruffian world, in yon bright spphere
joins with awakened voice the cherub train
and pours his sweet breath on a mothers ear
kind dreams of morn his fairy phantom bring
and floating tones of ecstasy impart
kind dreams of morn his fairy phantom bring
and floating seraphs strike the heavenly string
to charm the settled sorrow of the heart
