A desire

Hatred and anger, rage even. Now, at last, I have themes, I hope, or starting-points.

I have been intending for a few years to have a serious go at Spinoza's Ethics. I thought that I would need to begin at the beginning, Part I, on God, but now think that Part III, on the affects, may do it.

My anger, how can I be, if not its master, its more than equal? Can you help me, Baruch de Spinoza? I am in need of a leg up.

I will have to wait until I get home, though. I am with Paul and his family in Holland, and I haven't seen a copy in the house here.

hey conor,
nice blog. haha. especially good that you put OUR website on it!
i hadn't read your blog in a while so i thought i would pay it a visit. i know something that you could do to get people to like it; you could try and make it colourful. i don't know if it's possible, but you could like try and get a backround colour or photo or something, so that people are pulled to look at it.try to see if it's possible, and if it's not, surely you can change the writing into different colours or fonts or something. e-mail me when you get this and tell me if it works.
love,
Bea
