There's Always a 'Right' Answer!

Valentine's Day

Everyone has a heart, but few can reach the stars...

Goal #2: realistic/idealistic?

Durkheim's theoretical framework was centered around the actions of a collective social body, with a collective consciousness, in contradistinction to Weber's theories of social action, which extended from his adherence to 'methodological individualism.'

Goal # 2:
Realistic or Idealistic (pragmatic?):

Quitting Smoking Cold Turkey

I haven't had a cigarette for 8 hours...
Forgive the bitch in the form of the gails- it's for a good cause, even if it only lasts 9 hours...

Setting Goals that are 'realistic'

I'm new at this, so I'll start slowly:

Goal #1:

Accurately, Eloquently and Intellectually use the term contradistinction in a dialogue, without acknowledging (overtly or implicitly) how fucking cool
that word is (in itself and its utility)

Word of the Day Archive
Monday August 21, 2000:

Contradistinction is contra-, from Latin contra,
"against" + distinction,

from Latin distinctio, from distinguere, "to distinguish."

In my own conceptual framework: it is the lovely union of compare& contrast, where a comparison implies emphasis on similarities, without undermining the relevance of contrasting components, which procure the defining terms.

Circumscribing Uncertainty

Friends frequently enter our lives, yet they vacillate like the tides
Hearts beat to many rhythms, yet few will coincide
Minds will constantly inspire us, yet they rarely touch our souls
Desires stake out our bodies for consumption, and bury us under the weight of the holes

Two-in-one, the middle way. May I realize the Nature of Mind

The ends come around to close the circle,
Opening doors to a new world and a new start
Where the ways and the means
Find all in-betweens Have followed the stars around a heart.
