So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | Public Service Announcement Sunday. 7.13.08 11:45 pm And so beginneth Zanzibar's journey into stoicism... Henceforth Zanzibar shall cease to have emotions that are excited by happenings in the outside world, that is, things governed by the laws of the Universe such as Matter. After all, it is the nature of Matter to be still and sluggish, and resist all movement, and to act only according to the laws governing it. Zanzibar shall henceforth be moved only by the happening of Fate. For the stoics, as Wikipedia teacheth, Fate is the agent of Movement in the Universe, and the soul, complete with its emotions, is subject to the laws of the agent of Movement, not the laws of ordinary Matter and events which take place concerning it. Thus in the terminology of Newtonian mechanics, the body is Matter, and the soul is a force that acts upon it. The body has inertia to the will of the soul, but ultimately the soul (and therefore will) has power over it and can apply enough force to cause the body to act as it wishes (for the furtherment of Virtue). Thus the stoic may be said to approach all calamities with equanimity- even Death. Therefore all of the emotions of Zanzibar shall be within complete control of her iron Will and not subject to any outside control, except in the occasional case of interference by God, who embodies Movement, or another soul, which, passing in close proximity to hers, may affect it for a short time not exceeding the length of time for which this soul is physically present and pleasing to Zanzibar. Thus Zanzibar will appear as a placid exterior, a painted Zanzibar, whose emotions are carefully calculated by logos. All of her emotions will be thus be in line with logical thought, and never shall there arise a passion which is contrary to her virtue and/or common sense. In fact, everything that Zanzibar does will be for the further refinement of the logos and the advancement of Virtue. End Public Service Announcement and Randomly Capitalized Nouns. 4 Comments. Ah, Iron Will... good old crappy movies. » Praetorian on 2008-07-14 12:32:08 I don't really get you but okay.. have fun. » Nuttz on 2008-07-14 01:01:39 It kind of reminds me of equilibirum, stoicism. Though I suppose its more like Jesus and God and the angels in paradise lost with the wikipedia explaination. » jinyu on 2008-07-14 09:54:29 Hi, I was wondering you if you had an invite to nutang, could pretty please send me one? tigertears[at]gmail.com, thank you. :D » Ashlee (61.68.171.217) on 2008-07-25 02:34:05
