Plato and Aristotle

These are Aristotle and Plato, those who brought us the Western Thought as it is now seen...





For certain I do not know much about Aristotle work, however I am a little more familiarized with Plato studies, or be it:


He was - at least we assume - the very favorite pupil of Socrates (whose existence is even now doubted), and a good writer, but what is the most contradictory is the way Plato have made things despite of the Socrates' Lessons:
  1. Socrates was totally against poetry for he used to say it was related to the emotions (which I also disagree with due to the fake value of reason or emotion and feelings as well), and Plato said so as well however have written dialogues that are nothing but poetry.
  2. Plato said that - and this is funny - Socrates said that to write was a simulacrum or a distortion of the thought and that poetry was even more distorter, although Socrates have written and the worst written poetry (LOL).
So all I can now say is that if Plato was the best pupil of Socrates he was as well the most cynical being on the earth and as or even more reproveable than the sophistes - whom I do not reprove at all, for they were the very source of knowledge free from lie for no truth they pretended or intended to tell - so unconsciously pursuited and now brought on again.

I do not have the legitimacy to tell what is good or bad, or even evil as some dumby or too much smarty (both in the bad way) politicians want us to believe, for no experience I was given to tell so or not, and even if experience the most fake value on our living had been given for the shadowed and distorted vision of human being it would pass trough unnoticed what even more brings the thought of:
  • That we still think but for nothing, with no cause, with no finality, we pretend to have a cause but it is only an illusion.
  • We assume a personality which fades away as we need it to, or worse that goes away in a blink.
  • All the western thought is dumb, but I still love in all of its foolishness for it is the only way that I in my low range have, hehehe, and no one but me can take this away or penalize me for this.
