Arts & Humanities - 14 February 2007

I used to study philosophy at university ans enjoyed it as a mental challenge to take what resonated with my own reason and form my attitude to life. even in its tree falling hear it stage it pondered questions that raised my deductive reasoning. Talking to contemporary philosophy students the emphaisis is on semantics, public speaking and belittling others rather than empowering oneself (i,e, status anxiety, affluenza as texts).Why not study law!

If anyone does so totally believe in God, there should be absolutely no cause for such a believer to ever feel afraid, sorry, angry, disappointed or unhappy..... I haven't come across anyone like that! Does it mean that there can be no true believer?

"The all-time greats are mostly older books that have had time to 'mature', and were written during a 'golden literary age'.

What many consider to be great contemporary books, such as the Harry Potter series, and work by Tom Clancy and Stephen King (to name a few) are certainly well written but are not fit to be seen in the shadow of Tolstoy, Bronte, Dickens or even Tolkien.

The 'greats' of today will, for the most part, be the door-stops of tomorrow,"

The above statement was issued by a lecturer I had once during a heated debate at College. I agree to a certain extent in that a sentimental perspective does lend more established works a classical status, and that there is no denying the written word of the pre-World War era is significantly superior to contemporary equivalents although NOT WITHOUT EXEPTION.

This is my viewpoint although I am new to serious writing and study and am in no way an expert- I just want to learn.

How far would you agree with the lecturer?

Wanted to point you readers in the direction of my favorite author and American treasure, Pat Conroy. You may recognize him as author of the popular Beach Music, but I'd like to remind you of some other great titles like The Lords of Discipline, The Great Santini, The Water Is Wide, The Prince of Tides, and My Losing Season. His roots run deeply into the SC Low Country and the days of his young life at the Citadel in Charleston. Do you know him already? Care to discuss your favorite?

When I was a little girl, I read that some ballets are so tough to perform that the leads will sometimes wear out 2, 3, or more pairs of toe shoes doing just one performance. Is that still true, or do they make stronger shoes now?


I have to give kudos to all of you ballerinas...I know pointe-dancing HURTS!!!!

Name some things in your lifetime..that you know you have honestly regarded as "treasures"?
They can include "life lessons", special home spun generational stories, cultural things, advice. or whatever.....
