Go reread Camus and Sartre


Why would I? I hated them the first time around, why would I impose
them on myself now?

I was speaking more to Victoria - gawd, I was ready to slit my wrists when I
read them.

I read them both and hated them both.

Thank goodness I was spared both, then! After college it was one of those
things I wanted to read when I had time, because it seemed to be something a
well-educated person should have read, but there were always more intriguing
new books that were a higher priority than classics.

Currently slogging through the latest on my various ailments, and finding
several treatments that are different from what I've tried in the past. I'm
currently doing the Dr. Erika energy plan (l-carnitine and co-Q-10), and have
a
couple others in reserve if that doesn't work. Once I get back to health, I
can struggle through the deep philosophic stuff that I've been too fogged in
to
read.


Well, to avoid getting sick again, I'd avoid the existentialists.

Cheryl

If you have trouble understanding the way I express myself, why not
ask for clarification? Why get defensive when you express your
assumptions and I correct you?

Perhaps it's the way you do the correcting?

I do hope you treat your students better.

I disagree that existentialism is full of useful tools. I disagree that
you are giving me an opening. I have no reason to trust your motives at
this point, Victoria. You have slammed me into the wall and now you're
using my .sig to try to dig me deeper. You'll excuse me if I fail to
see an opportunity for illumination in your behavior towards me these
past few days.

I'm sorry. I'm tired of this and I'm tired of you. You don't get to be
nasty and the pretend that it's only for my own good and you're really
just trying to expand me. At the moment, living well means killfiling you.

But, didn't you tell me you didn't have the ability to killfile anybody?

You repeated that a couple times in fact, so are you lying now or were you
lying then?

Just curious,

But if I understand existentialism, what you are saying is the direct
opposite?? They feel man is doomed unless he believes in something.
Well, kinda. They waffle a bit.

Count on you to get picky and assume someone is lying. Netscape does
not have killfile abilities in this version. So I sort by author, mark
all thos posts as read and then resort by thread to read the group.
It's a pain in the ass and someone has to really distress me to make me
do it. But unlike you, I'll do it rather than bitch about how I can't.

But you and Victoria are both worth the effort at the moment. Aren't
you glad?

You repeated that a couple times in fact, so are you lying now or were you
lying then?

Snarky bitch. And you still haven't fixed your attributions, but I'm
passive agressive.

Check out the website she posted. It's not existentialism but some sort
of psycho claptrap. And the "definition" she posted is actually on the
website as "the goals of existential analysis." In other words,
Victoria is using the word "existentialism" incorrectly and then telling
all of us that we are wrong.

And that's one reason why I dislike using multi-purpose web browsers as
newsreaders. :-) If you feel like changing (I realize there are a multitude
of reasons why one wouldn't), I highly recommend Xnews. It's free,
powerful, and has great killfiles...

No - existentialism is the ultimate statement of do what you damn well
please, there is no reason to do otherwise.

Cheryl

tsk tsk, the language!

If I include the person who signed the email, which I have done here, it's
attributed.

Stop telling other people how to post!!
