Spambot of the day — 10 Comments

  1. But in this season, the one thing that is most definitely not in absence, is desire. Hence the lying and stealing, yet to come.

  2. Desire is never absent, regardless of whether reason is present or absent.
    Even desiring “nothing” is a desire: “I have everything I need or want; I don’t want anything more …”

    False premise = false conclusion.
    But as someone famous once said “at some point you have made enough money…”

  3. “In an absence of desire, why lie or steal?”

    Because of the significance of the passage of time.
    Time is significant. And it’s passing is significant. This is true if time is significant or if its passing is significant or if both time and its passing are significant.
    Now time can be more significant than its passing and also its passing can be more significant than time.
    But the bottom line is that significance is very significant.

    And yes, we have been to the border and no, I haven’t been to Europe either.

  4. I always thought that was, “In the absence of lying and theft, why desire?” and their corollary, “In the absence of reason, why wonder?”

  5. The only bumper sticker I ever attached to my truck said “How Does It Feel To Want?” I didn’t have an answer for a long time, but people did ask me what it meant; Other people wondered, and didn’t have an answer either. One day, the answer did dawn on me: Normal. It’s normal to want. Why lie? It’s hard to be perfectly honest with ourselves, even.
