recently (this morning) a columnist deplored the disappearance totally of decency in old blimey (guardian), & maybe raised the question of ethics or something of that stripe.
now that i'm in old age, i pick away serendipitously at things like, 'why are we here or what are we doing here', & the usual shallow nonsense. so. here's more. having read what i can of marcus aurelius' thoughts, i began to go along w/ his views until i began to question---why would someone go to all this trouble, if they're just writing to themselves? marcus' blog, we suppose.
one thought which keeps cropping up among the 'rons, is 'when does life begin?' actually, trained in natural hist. i keep being reminded by this---- that 'life' began so very long ago.
the 'rons claim life begins when the sperm encounters the egg. of course this utter nonsense (didn't i warn you?) because the sp. & egg have to be not alive or some such crap.
so instead,we are links in a very long chain of life that really goes back.I just put down a nice book (on sale)Moi ,covering the sequence of Egyptian dynasties that covers about 3000 yrs. in which the 'You know who's) left egyptian slavery is not even clearly spelled out. Which Pharoah, etc?but i likes to puzzle this one thoughe the religious peeps aren't much help.
cheers, ets. time for a belt. children's hr. a.
