Hi discovery lover <br>I was surprised to read
that your first language is not English as you
certainly write it very well. But I guess it's hard to
tell!<br>This is such a weird was to communicate - incognito,
annonymous and as an minimal personality!<br>I think the
prusuit of knowledge is a beautiful, important and
potentially very enlightening thing, and found your being
inspired to think deeply about our world (by stdying
Pholisophy) after reading pirsig fascinating! How's it going
/what are your philosophical ideas currently???<br>I
agree with your sentiment of enjoying LILA as a whole
experience. As I hinted, I find conventional philosophy hard
to grasp and relate to and pirsigs mix of
literature, truthfull self-study and deep ideas about our
universe really spoke to me.<br>I've 'come down' a bit off
my high of last week, but am still quoting pirsig
ideas to those around me and going over the
repercussions of his 'quality' principles in my world.<br>I
have always had problems 'judging' things - ie saying
this is better than that... and consequently often
come to a 'brick wall' concerning looking at my life
and making decisions: whether it is study, work,
plans, people around me, love life, well everything
really! This has meant long-term frustration and low-self
image. <br>This is daft really - why did I feel like a
'failure' when i refused to set up a 'success' to judge
myself by!<br>I'm now starting to believe in the
positive power of being able to practise calm 'quality'
judgement in all spheres, and finally get on with a
constructive life!<br>I guess what I'm saying is Pirsig's
approach and writing style has encouraged me to personally
see the psychological repercussions of dynamic and
static quality, and am trying to use VALUE to heal
myself!<br>My adult life has all been about 'dynamic' busrts of
energy in many directiopns, for a couple of years at a
time, usually, but without the necessary 'static
latching' to get me to build on my creative
experiences!<br>(Know what I mean?!!)
