Dear Marc,
You said:
>I'd just like to say something regarding morals. Linguistically this
ties in I think too. Look at the word Varuna. This may seem like a
tangled web but look where it leads. The concept of varuna is right
throughout our modern languages e.g. amoral, valhalla in norse legend,
agathos in Greek "good' and in our very own arete, the Greeks often put
an 'a' in front of words. Even value itself relates to varuna. Look up
all the words in the dictionary starting with va and have a look at
there meanings and see the common thread. There are others. To me it
looks like at one time everyone new what amoral meant, it was the
dominant philosophy of a large part of the early civilisations.
If anyone thinks they can add to this I'd be interested.
Good job Marc! You are heading in the right direction, and no, this
tack has not been mentioned before, I believe!
Best regards,
Paul.
>p.s. I'm new to computers, the internet and discussion groups, my
apologies for any stuff-ups and also if this subject has been aired
before.
