I have a book called "Advice to a daughter in opposition to the advice to a sonne" written by Eugenius Theodidactus in 1658. It's an original. I looked it up on the Internet and It's written about in many websites. I'm curious how much it's worth. Where can I find this out without having to pay someone for an appraisal?

A rumour started about me today.

I am curious how people would feel if some of the biographical information in philosophy is rumour rather than factual. A question of how much do we trust the information that is passed around and accept as fact without ever checking the source?

what do you think about my song


One thirty in the morning and I can't sleep
Life is so boring, so full of deceit
I'll stay awake and try to watch the sun rise
I tried to sleep so I could live my life

Another day has come and gone
So many years that were spent so wrong
I go to work, and then I come home
And then remember that I am so alone

Another sleepless night spent all by myself
This can't be, at all, good for my health

Another day has come and gone
So many years that were spent so wrong
I go to work, and then I come home
Now I remember I'm no longer alone

Life is good, I've got the best of friends
I guess this is where my journey begins
I guess this is where my journey begins

-Early Morning Epiphany

Does anyone know where I can freely listen to the February 15th, 1991 episode of Voice of America Radio from which this quote is from?

"There is another way for the bloodshed to stop: And that is, for the Iraqi military and the Iraqi people to take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside and then comply with the United Nations’ resolutions and rejoin the family of peace-loving nations. "- George H. W. Bush.

3. How valid is the claim that Kuwait belonged, and still does, to Iraq, that Kuwait's independence isn't legal?

Or is there a lot more on the horizon to be discovered? And if so, what will it be? This question doesn't belong to a category, it applies to everything.

None shall stand but I
Upon the stony brink;
Above the swirling, swallowing waves
Who beg for me to sink.

None shall stand, but I,
When sorrows promise me to cease;
When all that has been, seems a dream,
Of artificial peace.

None shall know, but I
As I gently onward tread
The final step, before my death,
What surprise is mine, what dread.

None shall hold the lifeless hand
That slowly sinks to Hell;
This soul hears not the whisper:
"My child, all is well."

These my speculations are,
As I think, so solitarily here;
Were I to die, what would be lost,
Except, perhaps, this fear?

Oh! Look I now beside me:
Another form stands
In white, with radiance about,
But dark scars in His hands.

"You are going to jump?" says He to me;
"No, my lord, are You?"
"Yes, I am, for you have lied,
You will jump, so I will, too."

In fear I lept then of the ledge,
And thought I wished to die;
But I found myself in loving arms,
And was given back my life.

This poem sounds better to me when read out loud than it does on paper, but I wanted some more opinions. The places in quotations are to read as if they are an echo. Let me know what you think.

Sunny

She heard the whispers in her mind,
Calling her name all the time.
"Sunny....Sunny!"

She was coming to the end of the line,
Looking for just a single person to be kind.
"Isn't it funny.....funny?"

So much lost, that she will never find.
She prays to God for one last sign.
"Bloody....Bloody!"

When the rain comes, half past nine,
she thinks,"an end will come and this is mine."
"Muddy....Muddy!"

And as the rain washed away her mind,
She closed her eyes for the final time.
"And it was sunny....sunny."

May be it's very easy for you. But I really don't know. I am not a native English speaker.

Is it the same meaning with "c." or without "c."?

Thanks

Many people say you can't have good without evil, and most just stop right there, pick a side, and live their lives, but...

Are good and evil equal 50-50? Or is the ratio different in reality, thus disregarding and ruling out religion.

If this ratio stands, then that means that evil is just as legitimate, great, and equal as GOOD. That God and the Devil are equals. right?


So then, is being(existing) a mass murderer as legitimate as a being as a holy man?

I've been suffering from extreme writers block. Back in high school, our teacher used to give us a beginning line to our poems and we would write it from there. Is there a website that has ideas and excersizes to get me back on my feet writing again?
