Silence ©1998 NICOLEA

Sisyphus, Tiziano Vecellio

Let us reflect together for a moment or two about the role of silence. First, please recall a past situation when, even though you wanted to, you didn't speak your mind as you would have liked.

a) Can you recall what state of mind that silence put you into, and then what you said to yourself?

b) Now, see if you can recall exactly what you said to yourself; since this might be difficult, please recall a recent event when you didn't express yourself over some injustice, perhaps over something you heard about or saw. What was that moment like? Please describe it.

c) Then, as you consider the impact of such scenes, could you describe what you believe it would be like if this state became more intense?

d) What name would you give to this state of mind?

May we preserve these philosophical beauties, and exhibit them to others. May this web site expand their elegance by the enlivening rays of the philosophic fire; and by the powerful breath of genius, scatter abroad in this virtual world these latent but copious seeds.

If some sparks of this celestial fire shall animate the reader, consider yourself as well rewarded for this laborious undertaking. Ancient philosophy has been, for centuries, the only study to break the shackles of ignorance; and in which one finds an inexhaustible treasure of intellectual wealth, and a perpetual fountain of wisdom and delight.

Presuming that such a pursuit bestows the highest benefit, I, Webmistress, desire no other reward than the wealth of wisdom, and Reason as my constant Guide. If successful, may I see the praise of the liberal; and if not, I expect no defense for failure, other than the decision of the candid, and discerning few, thus the opportunity to learn, and purgation by philosophic fire.
