Oprahs got my back.....

Just words...yes, Hobbes may be right that words are just words in themselves, but this comment of Hobbes is a rather a lazy one. If Hobbes wants to rid himself of the 'uncertainty' and 'wonder' of metaphysical inquirey then he can go right ahead, but I will not confuse his fear of the unknown with intelligence. He is indeed intelligent when it comes to logic, persuasion and propaguanda, but in terms of metaphysics he is nothing more than a closed book, a shut mind, a stubborn two year old. C. S. Lewis says, "god shows himself to some people more than others- not because he has favourites but because he cannot show himself to a man whose whole mind and heart are in the wrong condition, just as sunlight cannot shine into a dusty mirror as well as a clear one." Words in themselves are merely words, but when Wilmot's sparking mind inquires 'what really happened before the BIg Bang,' this is when words become poetry.

Sincerely,
Eve and friends.
