Arts & Humanities - 2 March 2007

a dreary tv drama posed the question

a woman -- suffering from a severe disorder -- butchers her two children...she's found innocent by reason of insanity...however: if she takes her meds, her disorder is controlled, she becomes sane, and -- as a function of sentencing -- will face the death penalty

so: if sanity can be defined as exercising a measure of control over one's actions, and insanity can be defined as being as slave to whatever impulses ramble thorough one's head, which is preferable?

to be sane and die, or, to be insane and live?

What is the true (or what do you think the) definition of soulmates mean? Because I remember a verse, it said "True Opposites".
What does that mean "true opposites", I don't understand.

Aristotle says there are four causes. The efficient cause is that cause which brings something about. For instance, a sculptor brings about a statue or a painter brings about a painting. Does the will (as efficient cause) also bring about human actions, whether they are good or bad, noble or ignoble?

I want to see the heart
Of the world

I want to hear what life's
Legacies sound like

I want to smell the awakening
Aroma of sacrifice

I want to taste the sky
And the night-stroked air

I want to feel what it's like
To live
