Haunting and a wee bit weird at the end. From p132 of GH's autobiography: 'The 'you' in Long, Long, Long is God. I can't recall much about it except t...

OK. That could be the start of another debate but I'll leave it there. As above. Yay !! :up: to Derek Lin :starstruck:

That's not what I said. Here: My concern was that this translation appears negative about hope. I think that when we send out that kind of message, it...

A penguin has something to say on the subject of hope. Cartoon of the day. Hopeless and flightless. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/...

Yes. I see the analogy for both being rational structures. Written music is a guide as to what and how the notes are to be played. At the highest leve...
April 11, 2021 at 08:20
Yes. I see that the guidance given in the TTC attempts to reverse conventional views held at that time. It seems to resist a second-order moral way in...

Yes, in Chinese culture it is of 'supreme importance' as Derek Lin discusses at length. Out of all the virtues, this is the first and foremost. He ask...
April 10, 2021 at 08:07
