haha, if your first post troubled me, the second just pisses me off. let me hit your points one by one. this will probably be a long post because i want you to understand why it's you who've missed the point. and i wager others will treat you worse later on.

nobody denies you your right to feel. that's something you should take care of yourself; being so familiar with plato, you should be familiar with the trouble passions can cause. you aren't a cold intellectual, as both your posts have made glaringly obvious. if you want to be well loved by anyone, you have to know how to get along with people. don't pretend you can come here, be self-righteous and arrogant and make friends with us. do you see the logical fallacy there?

don't pretend others are so different from yourself. is it the fault of those who are lesser than you that they're that way? do you hate a dog for being a dog?

i certainly hope you're not trying to undermine john milton's paradise lost. if you are, all i can tell you is that you have no right to do so. milton understood human nature, and his work reveals that. judge not lest ye be judged.

your discourse on pride is laughable. i am a practicing satanist and amateur philosopher and believe i have a very deep understanding of pride. not all pride is good, youngwerther. pride is to you what religion is to those you say you despise: it's not ignorance, it's stupidity.

do you know what the difference between couage and audacity is? you can back courage up. you are audacious.

and i'm curious why you use the word exeunt? could you please explain that to me?
