No tv tonight. I've been tempted, but still no tv in the house. Busy reading Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics

oi men gar empeiroi to oti men isasi, dioti d ouk isasin; oi de to dioti kai thn aitian gnwrizousin.

those who have experience know the fact, but don't know the wherefore; those who are skilled know the wherefore and they know the cause.

know the cause.

What's the difference between wherefore and cause?

no tv tonight. ive been tempted...busy reading aristotle's nichomacheon ethics...[what is after this is greek to me]

good strategy. by using these letters you make it very difficult for the average idiot (me) to flame you. i suggest you try reading the bible for a slightly different perspective on ethics. portions come in greek and hebrew, but can be found in english as well.
