And If . . . ©1998 NICOLEA
And, if you keep the anger - preserving it and even nourishing it,
then, how is that related to silence, to the role you have learned to play,
and to the struggle to free yourself from the beliefs that you have created from your past?
What if whatever you don't take exception to, or speak out against, feeds your fantasy life?
For there you can play out the drama again and again-arguing against what you can't oppose in your waking life.
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.
