Hello Everybody,
This is to tap into what thoughts might circulate
with the given subject [MD] Quality, Beauty, Truth or
truth. Quality according to Pirsig cannot be defined,
beauty is in the eye of the Beholder (a standard
definition of beauty cannot be defined), a flower in
bloom has scientific definition, but has an appeal
that science cannot touch/define.
The beauty of a flower in bloom
The hum of the wings near the scent
The green and ruby red unseen in a flash
Hummingbird, spirit, ghost, call it what you
will -
I HEARD IT!!
These following terms were looked up in The
American Heritage Dictionary with paraphrasing done on
my part:
dialectic - getting contrasting ideas to
cooperate and thus reveal a truth (or Truth) that rids
their apparent contradiction.
rhetorical - persuasion brings
agreement/cooperation with a prose that is
commonplace, dry, and ordinary.
poetry - conveys a beauty or intensity of an
event, experience, and/or reality.
Are any one of these leading to the Truth or
truth? Could not logic have a certain beauty or
persuasion? Could not something beautiful have
logical processes or persuade many to gather in its'
name? Could not persuasion be beautiful and compete
with others, until those others agree? Why even bring
this subject up? Why is Quality, according to Pirsig,
so all-encompassing or have such explanatory
power/value with sooo much else brought-up by others
to bring our lives in accord or discord with reality?
I am sure I might be stearing the discussion, but I
know there are people in MOQ that will on their own,
discuss something as well - I welcome it.
