Re: paradoxes

i studied Armenian under Masrob Janashian, who was a student or Arsen Ghazikian (both Mekhitarist monks in Venice). Ghazikian, who also taught Armenian to Zarian, was the acknowledged authority on West-Armenian. he loved the language so much that in his translation of THE ILIAD (he was a prolific translator -- see the entry on him in the SOVIET-ARMENIAN ENCYLOPAEDIA) that in his effort to immortalize every single word in it, he even used the "kounel" (to f*ck). Where Homer has Paris saying to Helen, "when i slept with you," (in the original Greek)Ghazikian translates: "Yerp yes kezi kounetsi!"

How much has the world changed since then.

Now its the woman who tell the man "yes kezi K........tsi" or "bidi k....em."

Re: paradoxes

I understand illusions.
I have quite a few of them myself,
as a matter of fact.
I believe reason matters.
I believe common sense is transferable.
I believe explanations work.
I think I may be able to make a difference.
I like to hope where far better men than myself failed,
I may succeed.
Call it optimism run riot.
Call it hubris.
Whatever it is, it allows me to go on.

Life has a way of searching out and locating your weaknesses in order to cause maximum damage.
