(Please note that these are the just notes. I have decided not to try and reason out my notes into an actual essay. If you dont understand anything then I will be happy to discuss these ideas further. Happy reading! Ohh and don't worry, I am not mentioning God this time.)

Plato...
For those uneducated in the founding of western philosophy: Plato was the student of Socretes and the teacher of Aristotle. It's quite amazing to think that the three fathers of philosophy came from Athens, at about the same time and were all students of each other!

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been present on Apricotpie for some months now. This is because I have been extremely busy, and my spare time is extremely limited. I do apologize for this, but I do indeed have a life off of the Internet, and I intend to live it to it's fullest. I will, after today, do my best to post at least once every week, though I can not make any guarantees. My first post after this will most likely be 'Amenadey -Part Two-', and I will continue from there. Hopefully you haven't forgotten me!

Chapter the Eleventh

Didn't know I could feel this way again. The day we met I told myself no, I wont let my heart fall for anyone again. I stuck to my word, one day, two days, three days... finally a week, then two. And yet somehow I knew inside, everyday that passed, every week I got to know you more and more, I was beginning to fall.

Socretes once asked "Are the gods good because they are gods? Or, are the gods good because they are good?"

If you then take that question and apply to any Omniscient, Omnipotent... "God", you get quite an interesting topic for discussion.

Is what god says good because he is god? or is what god says good because he is good? If you take the first question, if what god says is good because he is god, then he can therefore change his mind, he could turn around and say "thou shalt murder thy mother and thy father" but is that good? Well it must be if god says it is.

It's interesting to think that truth is only really relative to the mind. What is true to one person is not necesarily the truth to another. For example, Two people may look at a tree, the tree is green to one and brown to the other. However each person believes that they are telling the truth and are convinced that the other is wrong. A third person may then say that both are infact telling the truth, the tree is both green and brown. And yet another person can come along and say all three are wrong, the tree is not green, brown or both colours.

Looking down
At my hands
Wonder were
the time has gone

It seemed like yesterday
These two hands
Were small and helpless
A baby’s hands

I will never forget
When these two hands
Were learning to write
A little girl’s hands

I will always remember
When these two hands
Grasped hold of another
A wife’s hands

Memories that will endure
With these two hands
That held my children
A mothers hands

When I was young, I had this ring. It was passed on to me as a birthday gift; it had been in the family for ages. It was about the greatest thing I owned.
One day, years later, I woke up to realize I had lost it. Really lost it.
I’m still not sure exactly when it happened; I accidentally misplaced it so many times. Sometimes I even forgot about it, somehow. But I had always remembered, and it had always turned up again.
Until now. It was really gone this time.
