that is one of the best " Damascan Road " story i have heard, on route to

the ice cream tray ... great! it is really funny. the moment enlightent

fell upon ... not quite in the middle of a battle field or under a banyam

tree but looking at a dessert menu in the local indian takeaway.

I like absolutes and have to agree. especially as it is an abosulte that

you can actually practice and makes a change rather than just

philosophise about. I think it was Socheid that actually brought the

subject of philosophy up a wee while ago with a friend of his putting him

down about " facts only being commonly held beliefs " or something, which

was of course hurtful condescension rather than honest philosophy.

 

" Absolutes " are hard for philosophers who revel and profit in mires of

subjectivity but sure they exist. it is just hard to be sure *who*

actually realises them. and hard for those who do but dont follow to

admit.

 

On a horticultural note, Graham, what do you make of comfrey? i planted a

little organic seedling who is rapidly becoming a bush - but mostly slug

food. and i am not friend to slug either. it kind of looks much like the

stuff that lines the nearby canal bank. i know that you can make tea out

of it, the leaves I take it. but is it right that it is good just for

compositing or something?
