| Introduction | "The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog."
I was a student at the now-defunct Southern Catholic College, and am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Philosophy at the Center for Thomistic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, with the ultimate goal of a Doctorate. Ostracism is what occurs when one has been ostracized; that is, cut out or cut off from society. Lucidity is the quality of being clear or rational, as alcoholics are said to have "lucid periods." Consequently, my blog is all about how society has cast rationality away from itself. Alternatively, it is about how little sense I make. Scholastic, phenomenological philosophical approach to the problems of modernity; not exactly a picture-book blog. |

Aren't papier mache cuts the worst?
These random questions disappoint, and reek of someone trying to seem witty and clever, but failing.
