The chant of the everyday human being is something that transcends over the boundaries of his life, towards the distant lands that are seemingly crying out to him. And he acknowledges. For he assumes his correctness upon the gust that strides over-cross his direction and uses his attribute of tolerance to pull through the rest of the obstalces of ponder. And the academics in this field would do such by wielding their blade of apology. Each warrior prays to a different edge and the variety of flavours only add assumed originality onto the notions of the humans. They then draw their swords, and to take it in terms of the RPG, "The Way", they plunge.

If I allow my plunge in this instance to be leaped off the previous rant on the Placebo Effect, there would be much relation. In fact, I guess the Placebo does apply here in a certain sense, when the apologists are having their peons build their base. To quote from a book (whos origin, name and genre I have forgotten), "Criticisms of religions are purely based on the attacker’s framework of beliefs, ideas and dogma. No judgment can exist to be fully fair and just." If we take a step down a ladder to conisder, not criticisms, but discussions, the factor of bias is detectable in any instance. I purchase such an assumption because I myself would fall into such a trap when attempting justification and apology. Many more elaborate apologists and perhaps even the more accomplished ones would then, not be far away from the situation.

My point, is that apologetics most of the time get in the way of true truth and real reason when it is commited with purpose leaning desperately on the belief framework. With such as the skeleton, the allowance of a 'neutral stand' would pretty much be delusion at most periods. Moreover, humans are not only ones with beliefs and values, they have something else that is probaly the deciding factor of the convex study: Opinion. Every human in the world is a thinker and every moron on earth, can think. It would only be arrogance to assume that a thought that was sparked off by the rigiors of immitation, inspiration and self-creation would only be unique to the oneself. Sure, to some extent it is true, but most of the time, 70% of the floorwork is not something you can claim ownership to. The jargon has been already accepted. The rebellions already debated. I.e. what makes you think that thought can run only through your mind and not the minds of others? You have this great idea, what confirms that your the only one that thought of it? You realised this great concept, what forecasts that your the only one that understands it? Possiblity has been the sons of Chaos and of Order. Perhapstance has been the daughter of Law and Disaster. To exaggerate with seriousness, nothing in this world is truly unique. (And yeah, we can link the whole copy-chain to the one who created all...) The thing about thinking is only whether you are an expressivetist or not, and of course to, to what extent you express yourself, in which area that the desire spills onto. And that region would be also concerned with a abstractal numerical degree. And when we speak about something like truth, and even a step closer to it, its apology, we speak about something more: blood. The sword with it strikes agnoy, fear, anxiety, remorse, shock and what have you, into the hearts of even the bravest. Even the cold blooded might be provoked by its colour, to smile smugly at its assmed/potential/claimed victory.

A shiny blade thats polished several times a day, swung with force, slashed with might and acted with skill; is a serious joke if it doesn't touch blood, or another sword. That is what the sword is meant for, and that is now probaly the motive of the blade. Apology... ? Maybe after we finish.

Afterall, apologists, when faced with an ultimalistic probe, are evangelists. They are the salesman, the debaters, the knights. And salesman get doors slammed in their faces, debaters get stumbled and knights die. They all want to share a certain something and get someone to drink that thing up, so all methods prevail. Many ways. Several techniques. Books can be written, scenes can be made up, people can asked to perform tricks. At all costs, the dart must reach the centre board. Thats the aim, the goal. And when a striker wants to score into a goal, he doesn't usually take time to learn more about the goalie before moving in. Of course, he would employ many methods: say, study the whole soccer team's tatics, get into the good books of a few players, learn the weaknesses of the goalie, find out more about the goal poles etc. And then it would be how his skills are like. How good he is at tackling the ball. How fast he is. The blade is picked up. It becomes used as a wepon. It desires.... blood.

And so, having such an aim, such a hidden agenda, such a locked perspective, such a constructed delivery service- the intergrity part gets out of the way. It would be a bit hypocritical to sit down with someone, buy him a coffee and go 'yeah man, lets chat about stuff. I got this cool blade over here, but wait for its swing.' The guy is locked. The 'put-me-in-your-shoes' rule doesn't work now. (Well, it would be kinda miraculous to see how it worked in the past... now that I realised that the ones who use the rule are kinda selfish and self-centered creatures)

To create a quote from Fighter from FF1, "I like swords! Lemme use my sword! Lemme use my sword! I wanna use my sword!!!"


Yup, Fighter your're right. Its your sword.
