philosophy

The very word rubs many of us up the wrong way due to it's elitist status, it's pompous illusions. Or is it simply because it was a subject studied only by those in higher education? This should be called PHILOSOPHY & INSPIRATION. With subtext something along the lines of 'ANY EXCUSE FOR A RANT'.

First up, my favourite quote:

"The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world." - George Santayana

Some of this will no doubt be about beauty, some will be about pain ...
