By giving a five-sentence definition instead of a two-word one you give yourself a means of escape...to slither away behind every word in your five sentence definition because , if someone questions you about any part, you demand a definition of the part YOU included in YOUR definition. See how you do this Marsha?! It is not very fair. It is not very intellectual and it certainly is not very honest. And, what's more, this is the way every pseudo-philosophy works nowadays, spending endless amounts of energy and (stale) ideas producing them through endless amounts of written ink on forest's amounts of woodpulp ending up in circles upon circles of read/unread and accumulated wastepaper. Phaedrus presented us with a few of these examples and you continue them.
