a) Could you say that through this past problem-event those who were present were showing what really mattered to them?

b) Were they not showing that they cared about something?

c) Cared enough to show you-or let you know about-what mattered most to them?

d) What, then, would you say that this means? For this event was important for them too, wasn't it?

e) They revealed themselves through this event, didn't they? What did they reveal? Their values? Their fundamental beliefs? Please explain.

f) To reveal themselves in this way, didn't they have to break out of their everyday way of being?

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.
