Jag smyger in en ryggdunk till herrn med skägget för detta ypperliga initiativ i mitt annars lite grådaskiga forum.
Fan, nu får jag nästan lust att skaffa skägg IRL, och klorbleka det - men då måste jag nog köra tre Shivadyrkande vita linjer i pannan också. Och en klarröd dräkt.
Mitt förslag är att vi håller tråden öppen för tankeprosa, aforismer, reflektioner, fragment osv., förutom de givna namnen som är så att säga fackmannamässigt erkända av filosofihistorien.
Vem är detta?
"To seek mysteries in the obscure, poking into magic and committing eccentricities in order to be talked about later; this I do not.
The man of breed comes into harmony witj the process and continues his way. Go half way and then stop, I can't let it go at that.
The man of breed pivots himself on the unchanging and has faith. To withdraw from the world, unseen and unirritated by being unseen, his knowledge ignored; only the saint or the sage can compass this.---
To love what the people hate, to hate what they love is called doing violence to man's inborn nature. Calamities will come to him who does this, definite physical calamities, the wild grass will grow over his dead body.
Thus the true man has his great mode of action which must be from the plumb center of his heart, maintaining his given word that he come to his deed in due hour. Pride and jactancy lose all this."
