Pygmalion

"What is your aim in philosophy?
- To show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle."
(Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations (309)
_____________________________________

i dislike the analogy
it is a "fly bottle"........therefore the
fly belongs there....in the bottle
and doesn't need anyone's help
he is where he belongs
i relate to the fly

and one more thought on this subject
it was Wittgenstein who made the analogy........so he related to the fly as well.....so the only one he should be fixing is himself........especially if each one of us is responsible for our choices in life........be they intended or the result of the limbic brains interference

MBTI-INTJ
Pygmalion project for idealists: one thing you should not do.......couched in the form of philosophy/psychology....psycho-babble

Coming Together of the Sacred & Profane

i love it when things finally come together
big things
small things.........it don't matter
i see all these pieces......all @ one time.......and
they are just pieces......flotsam in my brain/conscientiousness/unconsciousness....whatever.....
they are there just movin' 'round.....like stirring batter
by removing what i didn't want.....or what i said i didn't want....it made room for what i did want......& that is when some things came together for me this am.....
i think it started w/the removal of the last microwave from my home......lol.....no....it started loooong before that.........i am home today doing the "suzie homemaker" thing & loving it
got music playing
made my cup of coffee like i used to.....slow....not fast....a ritual.....one i so very much enjoy
got an empty counter top.......SPACE!!!!
& then i begin mixing my herbs/plants to make my hawthorne berry tea
& i start re-arranging a few things & everything is working!!
pieces are falling into place.....i am actually dancing around the room to wonderful!....wonderful music!....(thank you cindy!!).........(lawrence welk reference for those who are uniformed)

i work outside my home......making someone else rich
so.......having a morning where i actually feel like doing anything around my home is a treasure.....so much energy wasted making someone else rich....
i digress.....

if you asked me today: was i happy?..........YES!....YES!.....A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!
so very happy i am gonna cry
