philosophy passion order
Myth is the practical metabolism of our soulish life, the logic of our obsessions and oversights for which we have no language or code. Myth is the "morality" that the ineffable puts upon us, our unaccountable imperatives, our inexplicably selective clarity and obscurity, the mortal one-sidedness of our talents and wits, the passion and apathy that make such a transient passage through our hapless minds; that weave a pattern of fatality others will see before we do. Myth is distinctively human or sublime higher-order instinct, the "reason" in culture that reason knows not of.
dream writing order
Kafka's writings often display an insidious power to describe a wholly secular and "factical" world in which the eerie or "unheimlich" elements gang up behind or beneath the ego's awareness and immerse it in a waking dream of something Other, an alien world-order similar to ancient irrationalist cultures (in transition from primitivism to civilized mythos-culture).
art philosophy order
Modern value-neutral society (Gesellschaft rather than Gemeinschaft) is systematized predation tempered not by conscience or values but rather merely by a system of law, which is no less corrupt with private interests and its own forms of predation. In modernity sophism is the order of the day, and this obliges its most adept practitioners to learn how to develop the art of appearing to be other than one actually is.

This year, we expanded his role by necessity. He had to score because of our injuries, and that is tough for point guards to do unless you're Steve Nash. In our situation, he not only had to get the ball to the right people, but he had to score.
awards
We give more awards than a lot of tournaments do.

We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
ball cutting hard job moved moving worked
We moved the ball much better tonight. We worked hard at it in practice. We did a much better job of moving the ball around, cutting and making things happen.
achilles good half heel maybe third work
We've got to work on the third quarter. It's been our Achilles heel all year. We got to do something to get us a good look at the basket. Maybe we'll go in at half and meditate. I don't know what it is, but we've got to do something.
biggest break flows reasons sure water
One of the biggest reasons is to make sure the water flows away from the house. You don't want the water to break into the foundation.
afford create definitely good playing plays possession somebody team
Oh, we're most definitely concerned. You always are when somebody does something and does it well. They have possession receivers and a quarterback that does a good job. We're playing a team that can create big plays and we can't afford to let them have that.
recommend
We recommend you do it from a ladder, it's safer.
bunch living people waiting
We had a whole bunch of people living on boats, waiting to find out just what had happened.
achievement activity gotten guys needed rhythm type
We really hadn't gotten any type of rhythm yet. The activity was there but the achievement wasn't. I told the guys we needed to have something to show for what we had done up to that point.
