more 6th period philosophy for all you hungry little hippos
pain pleasure and peace- it truly is tripartite. ( like your soul ) so let’s talk about it!!
i’m gonna make a little drawing for you
so rationale is simple, rationality, out ability to reason- to think- to argue!
temos- our emotions
tyrannos - our desires
so, if amalia was a perfect artist and had such a beautiful sense of proportion then perhaps such a thing would be evident- their sizes in our soul are as such
1) desire
2) emotion
3) reason
our desires consume us
they corrupt us
they allow us to stray from virtue, from just, from eudamonia
but i think that’s fucking bullshit
you should eat, fuck, sleep, not to satisfy some devil on your shoulder but to fucking liiiive. the process of doing what you reap pleasure from should not be condemned, we should not delay our own gratification for the sake of flipping a fedora and raising our pinkies on the basis that we can. live, do what you want!! kiss!! don’t do that assignment!! move off the grid!! block that man!! tell your mother you love her!! cry for no reason! don’t be rational! let your emotions take you! do not condemn your spirt, your humanity, on the basis plato says you’re wrong. you are not wrong. you are beautiful, alive, you are cognizant, and you are free. do not oppress yourself further.
