Things that don't resonate with me to the extent they once did, Ch. 4

"Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease."
HERMAN MELVILLE, Moby Dick

The charisma of Ahab.

The alcoholic zen teacher.

Newt leading the charge against Clinton for the Monica business while simultaneously having an affair.

The best teachers are those that most need to learn what they are teaching--how else could the material resonate with them?

But enough of that.

Why do we have two kidneys, two ovaries, two testicles, two eyes, two ears, two breasts, two lungs, two nostrils, when we could live with one of them?

Why is nature or evolution into so much symmetry?

Ok, so it supposedly has to do with embryos dividing and stuff like that.

I suppose we are always looking for our other half:-)

That's what the Greeks think,

But everything they think must be tempered with the fact that they cannot govern themselves...lol

Anyway....

There supposedly is only one God, or sometimes if you are into the holy trinity, three.
If you are hindu, there are millions

and the buddhists, none.

So where does all this two stuff really come from?
