message mon amour

Newspaper, newspaper.
I can't take no more. You're here every morning waiting at my door. I'm just trying to kiss you and you stab my eyes. Make me blue forever like an island sky.

nothing hurts more than being ignored by cats on the street

Life’s not fair

posted 1 day ago

now I know a disease that these doctors can’t treat
you contract on the day you accept all you see
is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
a reflection of something we’re missing

and language just happened, it was never planned
and it’s inadequate to describe where I am
in the room of my house where the light’s never been
waiting for this day to end

and these clocks keep unwinding and completely ignore
everything that we hate or adore
once the page of a calendar is turned it’s no more
so tell me then, what was it for?

“Please, please, please, sister Socrates / you always answer with a question / show some kindness to a petty thief / Forgive, you did forgive.”
First, there’s the Socratic method, a method of teaching focusing on asking questions to stimulate critical thinking and debate.
Second, there’s a specific story in Plato’s Republic, a Socratic dialogue. In the dialogue, Socrates and other Athenians and foreigners discuss different philosophies, including the nature of justice in which they debate a story of a thief.
From Republic:
Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also a good thief?
That, I suppose, is to be inferred.
Then if the just man is good at keeping money, he is good at stealing it. That is implied in the argument.
Then after all the just man has turned out to be a thief. And this is a lesson which I suspect you must have learnt out of Homer; for he, speaking of Autolycus, the maternal grandfather of Odysseus, who is a favourite of his, affirms that
He was excellent above all men in theft and perjury. And so, you and Homer and Simonides are agreed that justice is an art of theft; to be practised however ‘for the good of friends and for the harm of enemies,’ —that was what you were saying? No, certainly not that, though I do not now know what I did say; but I still stand by the latter words.
