IT'S BETTER THIS WAY....

On our bed I see two pillows
Yours tomorrow will not hurt
you will be far when the day comes
Yes of course it's better like that It's better like that And I do not blame you But I see tomorrow without you our lilacs in bloom With winter in the heart If you do not believe in both of us tonight If I do not know t'inventer hope what's holding you, why You're right Yes it's better like this Do not worry Especially not for me Staying here Yes it's better like that It's better like that And I do not blame you But I will see tomorrow without you our lilacs in bloom With the Winter in the heart In your eyes I saw clearly dying fire had to get there between usbut smile at me once more Oh my love Yes it's better like that

spilling crimson says...

A flower in the mouth can serve ...
I will not promise but where flights
butterfly
not you see I am here
as a flower
like a lawn
I were you
I would support to tell
such
as you live
you could tell me
little sister
what you believe you are
what you hope
what dreams
grow up you do
if you get stuck
against the wind
or push more than you
fear that some nights
we'll never feel alone
So alone to
be fed up
if you need for affection
when you need it like me
if you need affection
and something that is not
... for you between joy
and pain
that is the difference
you want children
so their children
or do not ever think
, and sex is a problem
or not
seems free and happy
, or sometimes a little cry '
It is said around
butterfly
you soul you did not
do and how
little one
to say yes or no
I do not think I'm crazy
if I'm talking to you
is that they are only
little sister
too so just
I need love
to keep me with you now
I need love
I need you too
need love
and something that is not love ...

The Regolith of Asteroid Eros ~(Franco Simone - RESPIRO)

The Regolith of Asteroid Eros 

spilling crimson says....

 From fifty kilometers above asteroid Eros, the surface inside one of its largest craters appears covered with an unusual substance: regolith

The thickness and composition of the surface dust that is regolith remains a topic of much research. Much of the regolith on 433 Eros was probably created by numerous small impacts during its long history.

Messier 64

Messier 64 (M64, NGC 4826) is the famous Black Eye galaxy, sometimes also called the "Sleeping Beauty galaxy." The conspicuous dark structure is a prominent dust feature obscuring the stars behind. This feature also enables one to determine, or at least estimate, which of the galaxy's sides is nearer and which more remote; in case of M64, it seems that the southern side is nearer to us.

Somewhere In Time ~John Barry

spilling crimson says....A 1980 time travel romance film based on the novel Bid Time Return written by Richard Matheson.

Film Director : Jeannot Szwarc

Starring : Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, Teresa Wright.

Music : Somewhere In Time Composer : John Barry

Reeve plays Richard Collier, a playwright who becomes smitten by a photograph of a young woman at the Grand Hotel. Through self-hypnosis, he travels back in time to the year 1912 to find love with actress Elise McKenna (portrayed by Seymour). But her manager William Fawcett Robinson (portrayed by Plummer) fears that romance will derail her career and resolves to stop him.

The film is known for its musical score composed by John Barry. The eighteenth variation of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini also runs throughout the film.

In the novel, Richard travels from 1971 to 1896 rather than 1980 to 1912. The setting is the Hotel del Coronado rather than the Grand Hotel. Unlike in the movie, he is dying from a brain tumor, and the book ultimately raises the possibility that the whole time-traveling experience is merely a series of hallucinations. The scene where the old woman hands Richard a pocket watch (which an older version of himself had given to her) does not appear in the book. Thus, the ontological paradox generated by this event (that the watch was never built, but simply exists eternally) is absent. In the book, it is two psychics, not William Fawcett Robinson, who anticipate Richard's appearance. And Richard's death at the end is brought about by his tumor, not heartbreak.

Somewhere in time
You came into my world
Love was beyond what I imagined love would be
Now just a dream
I hold till the end of time
Hoping someday we'll find what we left behind

There'll come a day
Our paths will meet again
We'll cross the bridge of time and space to a love that's free
No more goodbye
No lonely waiting
That'll be our day to love,to live all our dreams

If we believe and keep alive
The hope that love will stand the test of distance and time
Then we shall find our new tomorrow
Somewhere in time

Someday there'll be no time between us
There'll just be endless days for us to love and share
We'll rise above the tears of our lonely years
Into a world beyond today
In another somewhere...

♫ Anastasia - 'Once Upon A December' Lyrics ♫

spilling crimson says....

Reflection - "Anastasia" Ingrid Bergman

"Reflection" by Christina Aguilera of the 1956 movie ANASTASIA with Ingrid Bergman.

SUPERTRAMP (Roger Hodgson) - Lovers In The Wind

Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind

Life is all we have to share, you know we must take care

Lovers in the wind


There was a time, when it was hard to know

reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go

There was a light born on the darkest day

but no one wants to know, and no one wants to try


Love is all I have to give, it's all I need to live, lovers in the wind


There was a time, when it was hard to know

reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go

There was a light born on the darkest day

but no one wants to know, and no one wants to cry


Time is always on the run, we've only just begun, lovers in the wind

Truth-value link~(All'Infinito - Noemi)

spilling crimson says.... The principle of truth-value links is a concept in metaphysics discussed in debates between philosophical realism and anti-realism. Philosophers who appeal to truth-value links in order to explain how individuals can come to understand parts of the world that are apparently cognitively inaccessible (the past, the feelings of others, etc.) are called truth-value link realists.

The truth of a statement do not attribute a property called truth to such a statement.There are sentences...in which the word "truth" seems to stand for something real; and this leads the philosopher to enquire what this "something" is. Naturally he fails to obtain a satisfactory answer, since his question is illegitimate. The word "truth" does not stand for anything, in the way which such a question requires.For example ...

It is worthy of notice that the sentence "I smell the scent of violets" has the same content as the sentence "it is true that I smell the scent of violets". So it seems, then, that nothing is added to the thought by my ascribing to it the property of truth. (Frege, 1918).

Truth has a variety of meanings and among them the idea of having fidelity to an original or to a standard or an ideal.
To recognize a" truth", we use some method such as a "criterion of truth".Since there is no single accepted criterion,there all can be considered as theories of truth.

Morality and Love

Waterboys - The pan within

• spilling crimson says....Moral realism is the class of such theories which hold that there are true moral statements that report objective moral facts. For example, while they might concede that forces of social conformity significantly shape individuals' "moral" decisions, they deny that those cultural norms and customs define morally right behavior. This may be the philosophical view propounded by ethical naturalists, however not all moral realists accept that position (e.g. ethical non-naturalists).
• Moral anti-realism, on the other hand, holds that moral statements either fail or do not even attempt to report objective moral facts. Instead, they hold that morality is derived either from an unsupported belief that there are objective moral facts (error theory, a form of moral nihilism), the speakers' sentiments (emotivism), or any one of the norms prevalent in society (ethical subjectivism, in particular moral relativism). The moral relativist holds that there is no correct definition of right behavior, and that morality can only be judged with respect to the standards of particular belief systems and socio-historical contexts. This position often cites empirical evidence from anthropology of sharply contrasting views of "good" as supporting its claims.

• Trolley problem

  
  
  

  A trolley is running out of control down a track. In its path are five people who have been tied to the track by a mad philosopher. Fortunately, you could flip a switch, which will lead the trolley down a different track to safety. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch or do nothing?

  A utilitarian view asserts that it is obligatory to flip the switch. According to simple utilitarianism, flipping the switch would be not only permissible, but, morally speaking, the better option (the other option being no action at all).

  An alternate viewpoint is that since moral wrongs are already in place in the situation, flipping the switch constitutes a participation in the moral wrong, making one partially responsible for the death when otherwise the mad philosopher would be the sole culprit. An opponent of action may also point to the incommensurability of human lives.

  Under some interpretations of moral obligation, simply being present in this situation and being able to influence its outcome constitutes an obligation to participate. If this were the case, then deciding to do nothing would be considered an immoral act if one values five lives more than one.

  In Ecce Homo Nietzsche called the establishment of moral systems based on a dichotomy of good and evil a "calamitous error",and wished to initiate are-evaluation of the values of the Judeo-Christian world. He indicates his desire to bring about a new, more naturalistic source of value in the vital impulses of life itself.

  Nietzsche's genealogical account of the development of master-slave morality occupies a central place. Nietzsche presents master-morality as the original system of morality—perhaps best associated with Homeric Greece. Here, value arises as a contrast between good and bad, or between 'life-affirming' and 'life-denying': wealth, strength, health, and power, the sort of traits found in a Homeric hero, count as good; while bad is associated with the poor, weak, sick, and pathetic, the sort of traits conventionally associated with slaves in ancient times.

  

  
  

  Symposium (Plato)

  
  

  Socrates said  that he had sought out Diotima of Mantinea (lit. "honored by Zeus") for her knowledge. Socrates then proceeds to relate her story of Love's genealogy, nature and purpose (201d).

  Diotima explains that Love is the son of "Resource" (father) and "Poverty" (mother). Love has attributes from both parents. Love is beggarly, harsh and a master of artifice and deception (203d) and is delicately balanced and resourceful(204c). Diotima states that humans have the yearning to procreate, mentally and physically, this desire is the expression of humanity's desire for immortality (207a-b). Diotima's explanation of Love entails how to become a Philosopher, or a Lover of wisdom, and by doing so one will give birth to intellectual children of greater immortality than any conceived through procreation.

  Platonic love

  
  

  The spiritual ideas of platonic love—as well as the fundamental spiritual emphasis of all of Plato's writings—have been de-emphasized over the last two centuries.

  The English term dates back as far as Sir William Davenant's Platonic Lovers (1636). It is derived from the concept in Plato's Symposium of the love of the idea of good which lies at the root of all virtue and truth. For a brief period, Platonic love was a fashionable subject at the English royal court, especially in the circle around Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I. Platonic love was the theme of some of the courtly masques performed in the Caroline era—though the fashion soon waned under pressures of social and political change.

  Barbara Graziosi, professor of Classics at Durham University, described Platonic love as the "Christian apology" of Greek love.

  In the history of sexuality, Greek love is a concept of homoeroticism within the classical tradition. It is one of the "classically inspired erotic imaginings" by means of which later cultures have articulated their own discourse about homosexuality. The metaphor of "Greek love" becomes most vivid historically in periods when the reception of classical antiquity is an important influence on dominant aesthetic or intellectual movements.

  "Greek love" should not be understood as referring to historical homosexual practices in ancient Greece, but to the conceptualizing of those practices among other cultures:

  The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier, as Western societies have done for the past century. Greek society did not distinguish sexual desire or behavior by the gender of the participants, but rather by the role that each participant played in the sex act, that of active penetrator or passive penetrated.This active/passive polarization corresponded with dominant and submissive social roles: the active (penetrative) role was associated with masculinity, higher social status, and adulthood, while the passive role was associated with femininity, lower social status, and youth.

Atonement

spilling crimson says....
Briony Tallis (Vanessa Redgrave) being interviewed about her latest book, titled Atonement. She explains how it is her last book because she is dying and she wanted to be completely honest about all the events of the situation. She admits however that she wasn't honest about one part. That she never went to her sister that day to ask for forgiveness and that Robbie was never there because he died of septicemia in France waiting to be taken to the hospital a few months earlier. She also says that she never got to set things right with her sister because she was killed in a bomb blast a few months after Robbie died. Briony admits that she has had to live with this truth all her life so she changed it in her book, in order to give Cecilia and Robbie their chance to be together in her book, if not in real life.
Through a terrible and courageous act of imagination, she finds the path to her uncertain atonement, and to an understanding of the power of enduring love.

Eugene Ionesco's play The Chairs

spilling crimson says....The Chairs is an absurdist "tragic farce" by Eugene Ionesco.

Theatre of the Absurd, dramatic works of certain European and American dramatists of the 1950s and early ’60s who agreed with the Existentialist philosopher Albert Camus’s assessment, in his essay “The Myth of Sisyphus” (1942), that the human situation is essentially absurd, devoid of purpose. The term is also loosely applied to those dramatists and the production of those works. Though no formal Absurdist movement existed as such, dramatists as diverse as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Jean Genet, Arthur Adamov, Harold Pinter, and a few others shared a pessimistic vision of humanity struggling vainly to find a purpose...

The Chairs came to be seen as a seminal example of the genre, highlighting the loneliness and futility of human existence. 

The Chairs explores the lack of truth, reflecting the lies humans often tell themselves also the play is about communication between people. The Chairs is about people’s deluded communication with themselves, which reflects their innate isolation. 

“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly awar”

 Eugene Ionesco

SILENCE It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few. Pythagoras (582 BC - 507 BC)

spilling crimson says...It is a great thing to know the season for speech and the season for silence.

Seneca (5 BC - 65 AD)

Silence is more musical than any song.

Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)

I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right.

Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
