This is a mental fantasm of yours that you currently fancy. God, movies, dreams are all human fabrications. Tension, boring, happiness: the same. All figments of the intellect. What happened in New York was not intellectual. Looking at it in these terms is an attempt at trivialisation. It is what it is. No amount of fancy will change that.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 Dear John -- Yes - correct. Mental phantasms indeed. Let us neither trivialize nor elevate what is not a construct of either intellect, emotion, or sensation. For *that* which one is, one cannot elevate nor trivialize.
