Hmm... moral philosophy... I really enjoyed the discussion of Aristotle's morality ideas; excess and abstinence are equally bad; an equilibrium is best.

i.e. Anger - One, it wouldn't be good to get TOO angry; if someone were to say, step on your toe, that isn't grounds to slowly torture them to death.

If an adult were to walk up and start punching your 5 year old child, and you just stood there and watched, and didn't retaliate, that is equally bad.


Bismarck once said "Fools say they like to learn from their experiences, but I prefer to learn from the experience of others."

"Move that one of your pieces, which is in the worst plight, unless you can satisfy yourself that you can derive immediate advantage by an attack." -Adolph Anderssen
