Last Christmas, I read Philosophy books. It's not weird. Even if it is, I refuse to believe that.
Yet, flipping through an old notebook, I'm excited by the quotes I kept. So, for the sake of no one but me, let me share them.
Heraclitus: "Good and bad are the same... upward, downward, the way is one and the same."
One cool thing he said though was that there is no being, only becoming. Nothing is actualized to use Aristotelean language. Is that not the Christian journey on earth? We are always becoming more like Christ, but we are never like Christ. Somehow, I find that reassuring.
However, I have one last beautiful thought. Apparently, as this textbook stated, Thessalonians were famous for wisdom (how does that affect our reading of Scripture?), especially in the city of Larisa. My namesake. I guess I have a high standard to live up to.
