dreamed all night hearty conversations with i dunno Greeks? blokes in frocks anyway. what do i know about virtue? well no-one ever thinks about them. they are carefully classified, adumbrated...but apart from this universal approval how do i know them if someone else got, eg humility? i'll think he's a creep. someone utterly truthful...+ like me telling my worst enemy how to destroy me/my loved ones? not clever is it? so this heavy insistence on virtue; and its unspoken corollary that YOU can 'secretly know you a virtuous saintly type and God of course because if he don't notice you 1. wasted your energy and 2. no-one will ever notice you if he doesn't or something. look at my 3 magic touchstones. they are the cultivation of tolerance, sympathy and an accepting attitude. are they virtues? i dunno but if you a devil and i win against Gay you bloody watch everybody getting all histrionic about them! whereas right now the religionists would cheerfully kill me; the rest [if any] usual unthinking cretins; this isn't what mama taught me as i sat on my potty so it is false and she a crazy...
because they work, whereas it seems to me that training yourself in this virtue or that you are fixing yourself; in both senses of that word. its useful, its a blanket system of secret self approval. but apart from that there's no seperate department of you which is the virtue bit.
like the Roman 'it is sweet and noble to die for your country'...actually 'fatherland' in the latin. is it? death by violence is awful. and they tell this to very young men who are full of their sex juice and therefore slightly mad, too young to know its old men who war but do not fight themselves...and so on it goes. all i'm saying is i got to fathom the thing out. for if you see i just blasted my way out of all self- enslavements religious or otherwise. i know the truth...so i begin again. from reality, as only i can.
