Comments on glosses: Dominic Fox said: "i) is that morals consign any demographic that lives and chooses (perhaps) a life other than what is considered to be the moral life to perdition, to an abject status which places it in the path of extermination." i) Reply: Which seems to have things backwards. Morals do not "lead" to perdition, abjection, and extermination; these last are (along with other dark conditions out of which all literature is ultimately fashioned) merely fertilizing minerals of Mortality's soil (the real and infinite reality), out of which pop the evolving and ephemeral flowers of morality (true, the genus has a heavy and dangling pistil). Dominic Fox then says, " ii) is that morals seek to place restraints on the imagination, on the uses of intellect, and that censorship of any kind is infinitely contagious." ii) Reply: Morals are, as stated above, merely ephemera, flowers of good and flowers of evil, but always, of whatever moral species, only instances of imagination. Thus, to say that "morals seek to place restraints on the imagination" is in fundamental error, for morals are composed of Imagination's very being-- a secretion secreted by a transient body in reflex reaction against a certain violence without (which is, as stated above, the ground of Death). In this manner, bereft of hope, and however absurdly, given its fate, the imagination pleasures and throbs inside the viscid and transparent sap that encases it. And, lo, these encasings can be imagined as if in the form of amberish spheres: And thus, by and by, when spheres of dissimilar or disjunctive moral nature come into a vicinity of one another, the imagination is excited and thus does secrete more sap around it, making its total form larger, more beautiful, and therefore more likely to commune or combat with other spheres, thus ever increasing the imagination's chances to extend its attractions and enrich its excitements. This evolutionary law is so even though the sap secreted by the imagination is no more real than a daydream. iii) and iv) collapse under the logical weight of the above. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
