Who gets the last word in?

[Rusty]

You forgot sugar.

 

[ante]

I can´t be arsed really

 

[xenophobe]

Bacon, it's not just for taping to your thighs anymore...

:Spin:

 

[Jax]

I don't even know how to respond to that, Xeno..

 

[Lhorian]

I'm with you on this one Lady, if I may call you that. If not:"I'm with you on this one Lady of the Oracle, and I would like to excuse myself for letting my other self name you by only part of your 'name'."

 

[xenophobe]

And I have absolutely no idea how to respond to that.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

....Like this:

 

[Rusty]

Lhorian really makes me happy when he does that.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

Do you believe that a certain amount of an undesired opposite is necessary to appreciate a desired result?

eg. Do you believe that a certain amount of 'evil' must be entertained to more appreciate 'good'? Would their be 'good' without 'evil'?

 

[Lhorian]

Good and evil are chaos divided into two opposing forces. Although each abhors the other they are interdependent, and one cannot exist without the other. They define each other.
I think its something like that.

@Rusty: I am here to make you happy at least part of me is.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

@Lhorian: Sounds like you aren't too sure of yourself in relation to that topic...I will have to politely disagree with that version.
Location: Wizard's First Rule

@Rusty: You lucky bugger

 

[Lhorian]

You are right about not being to sure, but I do think that there has to be one to have the other. And thesame goes for love and hate, happiness and unhappiness and the likes of that.
If there is only happiness then one would be forever happy. But I think that if one is forever happy, then that becomes normal and therefore it will not be happy any more. One has to have unhappiness to know what happiness is. And in view of that I am lead to believe that there has to be evil if there is good.


And about the location part you are about right, it has to be located in the stone of tears.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

A fair arguement, but I've looked at it in a few different ways and see that from one view, it looks as if evil is making an excuse based on semantics and raw logic.
I can bend you view a bit and say we only ever needed one fraction of a second of evil, then we'd always have the memory of that fraction to compare everything else too, which would make everything else good by logical default.
If possible, we could stop all evil from now on, and still see everything as good, as we have the memory of evil to compare with...I shall continue this discussion soon.

 

[Lhorian]

That would be true, but the problem with that is that memory always fades away and eventually will be forgotten.
I shall wait for the continuation of the discussion.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

Most memories do get lost, but not all...that could be another discussion altogether
How do you stand on the scenario of all evil being suddenly gone, vanished? Would good still be 'good', or just normal? Is there a 3rd state, one of non-commital?

 

[nafnikufesin]

Holy crap, this is way too deep

 

[Steve]

I never go the point of this thread anyway...

 

[nafnikufesin]

There is no point. That's the point.

 

[nØthing]

Indeed

 

[nafnikufesin]

Certainly.
