Good words. Sanity is a challenge for us all! Anyone who steps out, who dares,--mark that man. Nothing great can be accomplished except by his nerve. Yes, and I include marriage and children (good parenting) the greatest accomplishment of all. Unfortunately, philosophy and other forms of accomplishment can interfere with such greatness. Good words, HP. Good words.

What difference does it make? "where does philosophy begin, and is it necessary?" Its absolutely necessary. Its necessary for the reaffirmation, that all the mania, and strife produced something worth the effort. Its an integral part of the process. You have to be able to look back on something you did, that you suffered over, and then determine whether it was good and worth while or just Bull. I suspect for someone as obsessive complusive as Beethoven must have been it was a necessary judgement in order even to keep his sanity. Don't you think? “At what point does reflection become philosophy?”
