Arts & Humanities - 15 September 2007

Dose anyone use writing as a method of therapy? If your not someone who necessarily, likes or wants, to pure your heart out to people (like me) is writing where you turn? Because I just now started to do it, and I gotta tell you. . . It feels pretty good! I never knew how good of a release it would be. I always tend to have a lot of thoughts on my mind, about a lot of different topics and writing really is a perfect way clear my mind.

So dose anyone else do that?

I find on the VERY RARE occasions that I can overcome my laziness/fears/assumptions/what have you, and actually take a objective, clear and open-minded stance on what I want to do with my life, and what I want to do with this moment, then I am truly happy. Not just "happy" but fulfilled, content, and peaceful knowing that I, and no one else, in THIS moment, is in control of me except my mind.

And since lving life is about living it well and happily, do you think maybe taking control is the key?

I'll first admit that this is homework, but I am not just looking for an answer, as I want to understand how to determine if the argument is considered valid, and why.

If an alien spaceship has landed, there should be a large circular depression in the field.

There is a large circular depression in the field. So the alien spaceship must have landed.

Now I know that when dealing with the "assumption words" (should and must), then it is said to be invalid, but then I get confused with deductive and inductive and don't know if they are the same as valid and invalid, and according to the book, I am looking to see if the argument is valid.

If any philosophy buffs really love your stuff, then please have a go at this...

Thanks

Bliss Sapping Life
-------------------------

Its harder to wake then fall asleep
Naked and blind but no more a sheep
The pain of knowing nothing at all
The shame in believing the things that we saw
Dangerous
Our confidence
Bleeding us
Of Common Sense

We see the way the atoms spin
A pattern seen above again
People try to understand
Holding yet to faith in man
You're speaking words
You do not believe
Reassurance
Non-threatening

Residents of now, like then
The meaning of what seems insane
Slipping through their minds again
Then, accepted as the only way

Instead of keeping open doors
Holding on to you and yours
Grip is solid, safe, and sure.
Anything to be secure

What do you think Hermione or Harry would have seen or experienced if they tried to kill the Horcrux? We all saw how the locket brought Ron to his knees, and I've wondered what Harry or Hermione's worst fears were. For Harry it would have to be something involving Ginny, but for Hermione I don't know.

(It's a little to long to fit into Yahoo's alloted space so the last two stanzas will be in 'Details' below it. Please wait for them before responding.)

A Poet’s Lament

We ten thousand poets, pen in hand,
scream outward in anger with our might,
our words flow like blood upon the land
as ten thousand blinded by the light ---
while ten thousand lovers do no right.

With ten thousand muses from above,
each one involved in us making love,
us losing love, us forsaking love,
poets always seem to have it worse;
our broken hearts seeping endless verse.

As ten thousand souls, misunderstood,
in relationships we know that would
bruise us, bang us, slam us to the ground,
we thousand poets will soon be found
explaining pain to the world around.

With ten million single men out there,
ten million single women somewhere,
what would happen if we wisely chose
a good-hearted mate from one of those —
a returned love that we could share?

(I wrote this drivel, by the way.)

just like a flock of geese that fly in a specific formation together, is everything in the world possible inter-connected? When we die, will a part of the world die yet still remain alive through the inter-connectedness?

3.Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
4.Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
5.Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

Whilst there are numerous unforgettablle characters in his books, and I find it hard to choose one specific favourite, I think that Mr Micawber is probably to me the most memorable.

Who (or should that be 'which' character?) is your favourite or most memorable?, and what makes them so?

“Damaged”

the canvas can call tomorrow home
the art of chaos falling into patterns
breathing and dying take equal turns
when ashes fall, children clamor to claim
the damage of life, to be defined by the night
the physicality an afterthought to those
who mourn in the silence of their wombs
let the children carry illusions, leave candles lit
to claim an identity of the unknown
shredding respect of those who know.
death that seeped in, speaking in silent woes
clocks pass by eternal tomorrows
which children dream life to be
eyes can’t eclipse the difference
of what matters in between now and never
souls will know to expose their bones
beyond faces, a million layers never seen
sins too unspeakable to ever repent
fall into graves, answers never given
but gone, gone, gone, no asking tomorrow.

...on to other people by accusing them of being on drugs when the person says something the addict does not understand or agree with. Misery loves company. So the addict want to feel that he is not alonje. He looks for reasons to aaccuse othersof being addicts so he will not feel lonely.
Anyone who accuses me of bering on drugs will get the drugs shoved right back down his throat.
