    My Return, and the Grave of Aristotle

    I shall announce my glorious return to the forums. For the perpetrators of this crime of banning an innocent individual, pleasure is derived from excluding him for what he is: a most unique and intellectually aggressive person; for the victim, pleasure is derived from the innate knowledge that all evil shall be mirrored and reflected to the evil actor.

    In other news, I had for no apparent reason been thinking about the legendary Greek philosophers and where their bodies might be resting. I thought of Aristotle, searched for his grave, and very interestingly it has just very recently been thought to have been discovered. Yes, my intuition is a miracle on its own, but let that not overshadow the finding of the resting place of a legend.

    So? We have what was important about the guy, his work. It's not like we believe touching his bones will anoint us with magical powers of...philosophy.

    I was reading about Bosnia the other day, something about crusaders going through there.

    Wasn't Aristotle the first intellectual mind to conceive the philosophical mantra, "Bros before hoes?". Truly a legend.

    If the resting place and body of such a legendary figure is perceived by you as mere material, you are, sad to say, lacking in spirit and depth in the realm of reality. There is great pleasure to be derived from seeing things beyond their material appearance; to sense the atmosphere that transcends the material, to enjoy what it represents. This is something I hope you manage to do in your lifetime; for some it is innate, for others it is achievable (to a lesser degree, however).

    Your perspective is unfortunately normal in this day and age. In Medieval times, the ability to see things in a way that is not shaped by only the physical was the norm. Churches, graves, even roads and trees - all meant more than what they appeared as perceived at face value.

    I don't keep count... it happens too frequently. I have crossed lines in the past, but most of my activity now is benign. A little negativity here and there shouldn't warrant these bans. It is so sad.

    Seeing things that aren't there doesn't mean you're enlightened, it means you're crazy. (Or just hallucinating, which can be induced by plenty of non-magical means)
