What good luck! I am signing onto a thread that has 7 replies and 77 views...777.
Now Darkpond, don't you go take Plutarch's proverbs too literally. On occassion he says things just for the effect! But on the whole he's a pretty good fellow, his problem is the same as many guys who have been bright since birth - he thinks in absolutes.
For example look over in Fun & Games where all the kats and Chicks are singing and laughing and playing Hogwash.
Do you see Plutarch over there joining in the fun?
Of course not. Plutarch will tell you that he doesn't join the frivolities because he is not wanted over there,
and there-in lies the crux - he is right, some don't want him over there, but some do.
Meanwhile Plutarch plays the martyr...overtly.
Invertly Plutarch leads a tilt at the windmills of his own very good mind.
