for the touch up paints. Sounds good to me – tentatively we are looking at next
Wednesday either at his house or VW. I’ll leave the car and pick it up a few
hours later. Getting pumped to having this done.
Earlier you did your exercises and then
walked in the park over to the other side of the west lake, sat on the bench a
bit then headed back to the car. Carol arrived about five minutes later from
walking the path and picking up trash along the way. You tried a new place for
lunch Piada Italian Street Food – Carol had a chicken salad and you had a
grilled chicken wrap. As the restaurant is within a stone’s throw of Graeters
you both had kids’ cups – Carol, a strawberry chocolate chip, and you a caramel
gelato. Presently you are at Barnes and Noble with Carol looking at kids’ books
for Owen and Brennan. At lunch Carol brought up the idea of heading to Glacier
National Park this summer, partly because one of her retired teacher friends at
breakfast will be volunteering at the park for the three summer months. You
were surprised and quickly added that you could drive the Accord and put the
miles on it rather than the Avalon. Sneaky ulterior motives, eh orndorff? –

THE RIGHT WORD:
sin,
crime, fault, indiscretion, offense, transgression, vice
If you've
ever driven through a red light or chewed with your mouth open, you've
committed an offense, which is a broad term covering any violation of
the law or of standards of propriety and taste. A sin, on the other
hand, is an act that specifically violates a religious, ethical, or moral
standard (to marry someone of another faith was considered a sin). Transgression
is a weightier and more serious word for sin, suggesting any
violation of an agreed-upon set of rules (their behavior was clearly a
transgression of the terms set forth in the treaty). A crime is any
act forbidden by law and punishable upon conviction (a crime for which he
was sentenced to death). A vice has less to do with violating the
law and more to do with habits and practices that debase a person's character (alcohol
was her only vice). Fault and indiscretion are gentler words,
although they may be used as euphemisms for sin or crime. A fault
is an unsatisfactory feature in someone's character (she is exuberant to
a fault), while indiscretion refers to an unwise or improper action
(speaking to the media was an indiscretion for which she was chastised).
In recent years, however, indiscretion has become a euphemism for such
sins as adultery, as if to excuse such behavior by attributing it to a momentary
lapse of judgment (his indiscretions were no secret).

hours. The above says a lot about our language and culture. In the first Merlyn
trilogy I used at least one example of a dead person attempting to plead her or
his case before the Bar but that concept is mostly one of an abstract
anthropomorphically judicial angel. It is not reasonable to think of an angel
as human. I don’t know why people do this sort of thing. A little girl or boy

1737 hours. This is another reason why it is best to keep one’s mouth

Are you going to list Dante’s nine circles?
– Amorella
1747 hours. Here they are from History’s Lists.
** **
First Circle (Limbo
Dante’s First Circle of Hell is resided by
virtuous non-Christians and unbaptized pagans who are punished with eternity in
an inferior form of Heaven. They live in a castle with seven gates, which
symbolize the seven virtues. Here, Dante sees many prominent people from
classical antiquity such as Homer, Socrates, Aristotle, Cicero, Hippocrates and
Julius Caesar.
Second Circle (Lust)
In the Second Circle of Hell, Dante and his
companion Virgil find people who were overcome by lust. They are punished by
being blown violently back and forth by strong winds, preventing them to find
peace and rest. Strong winds symbolize the restlessness of a person who is led
by desire for fleshly pleasures. Again, Dante sees many notable people from
history and mythology including Cleopatra, Tristan, Helen of Troy and others
who were adulterous during their lifetime.
Third Circle (Gluttony)
When reaching the Third Circle of Hell, Dante
and Virgil find souls of gluttons who are overlooked by a worm-monster
Cerberus. Sinners in this circle of Hell are punished by being forced to lie in
a vile slush that is produced by never ending icy rain. The vile slush
symbolizes personal degradation of one who overindulges in food, drink and
other worldly pleasures, while the inability to see others lying nearby
represents the gluttons’ selfishness and coldness. Here, Dante speaks to a
character called Ciacco who also tells him that the Guelphs (a fraction
supporting the Pope) will defeat and expel the Ghibellines (a fraction
supporting the Emperor to which Dante adhered) from Florence, which happened in
1302, before the poem was written (after 1308).
Fourth Circle (Greed)
In the Fourth Circle of Hell, Dante and
Virgil see the souls of people who are punished for greed. They are divided
into two groups – those who hoarded possessions and those who lavishly spent it
– jousting. They use great weights as a weapon, pushing it with their chests,
which symbolizes their selfish drive for fortune during lifetime. The two
groups that are guarded by a character called Pluto (probably the ancient Greek
ruler of the underworld) are so occupied with their activity that the two poets
don’t try to speak to them. Here, Dante says to see many clergymen including
cardinals and popes.
Fifth Circle (Anger)
The Fifth Circle of Hell is where the
wrathful and sullen are punished for their sins. Transported on a boat by
Phlegyas, Dante and Virgil see the wrathful fighting each other on the surface
of the river Styx and the sullen gurgling beneath the surface of the water.
Again, the punishment reflects the type of the sin committed during lifetime.
While passing through, the poets are approached by Filippo Argenti, a prominent
Florentine politician who confiscated Dante’s property after his expulsion from
Florence.
Sixth Circle (Heresy)
When reaching the Sixth Circle of Hell, Dante
and Virgil see heretics who are condemned to eternity in flaming tombs. Here,
Dante talks with a couple of Florentines – Farinata degli Uberti and Cavalcante
de’ Cavalcanti – but he also sees other notable historical figures including
the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and
Pope Anastasius II. The latter, however, is according to some modern scholars
condemned by Dante as heretic by a mistake. Instead, as some scholars argue,
the poet probably meant the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius I.
Seventh Circle (Violence)
The Seventh Circle of Hell is divided into
three rings. The Outer Ring houses murderers and others who were violent to
other people and property. Here, Dante sees Alexander the Great (disputed),
Dionysius I of Syracuse, Guy de Montfort and many other notable historical and
mythological figures such as the Centaurus, sank into a river of boiling blood
and fire. In the Middle Ring, the poet sees suicides who have been turned into
trees and bushes which are fed upon by harpies. But he also sees here
profligates, chased and torn to pieces by dogs. In the Inner Ring are blasphemers
and sodomites, residing in a desert of burning sand and burning rain falling
from the sky.
Eight Circle (Fraud)
The Eight Circle of Hell is resided by the
fraudulent. Dante and Virgil reach it on the back of Geryon, a flying monster
with different natures just like the fraudulent. This circle of Hell is divided
into 10 Bolgias or stony ditches with bridges between them. In Bolgia 1, Dante
sees panderers and seducer. In Bolgia 2 he finds flatterers. After crossing the
bridge to Bolgia 3, he and Virgil see those who are guilty of simony. After
crossing another bridge between the ditches to Bolgia 4, they find sorcerers
and false prophets. In Bolgia 5 are housed corrupt politicians, in Bolgia 6 are
hypocrites and in the remaining 4 ditches, Dante finds hypocrites (Bolgia 7),
thieves (Bolgia 7), evil counselors and advisers (Bolgia 8), divisive
individuals (Bolgia 9) and various falsifiers such as alchemists, perjurers and
counterfeits (Bolgia 10).
Ninth Circle (Treachery)
The last Ninth Circle of Hell is divided into 4
Rounds according to the seriousness of the sin though all residents are frozen
in an icy lake. Those who committed more severe sin are deeper within the ice.
Each of the 4 Rounds is named after an individual who personifies the sin. Thus
Round 1 is named Caina after Cain who killed his brother Abel, Round 2 is named
Antenora after Anthenor of Troy who was Priam’s counselor during the Trojan
War, Round 3 is named Ptolomaea after Ptolemy (son of Abubus), while Round 4 is
named Judecca after Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

After
re-reading this I am more confused than ever. Now on to Wikipedia where I have
selected and edited from the article, “Seven Deadly Sins”.
** **
Historical and modern definitions
Lust
Lust, or lechery (carnal "luxuria") is an
intense desire. It is a general term for desire. Therefore lust could involve
the intense desire of money, food, fame, power or sex.
In Dante's Purgatorio, the
penitent walks within flames to purge himself of lustful thoughts and feelings.
In Dante's Inferno, unforgiven souls
of the sin of lust are blown about in restless hurricane-like winds symbolic of
their own lack of self-control to their lustful passions in earthly life.
Gluttony
Derived from the Latin gluttire,
meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the
over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.
In Christianity, it is considered
a sin if the excessive desire for food causes it to be withheld from the needy.
Because of these scripts,
gluttony can be interpreted as selfishness; essentially placing concern with
one's own interests above the well-being or interests of others.
Medieval church leaders (e.g.,
Thomas Aquinas) took a more expansive view of gluttony, arguing that it could
also include an obsessive anticipation of meals, and the constant eating of
delicacies and excessively costly foods. Aquinas went so far as to prepare a
list of six ways to commit gluttony, comprising:
•
Praepropere – eating too soon
•
Laute – eating too expensively
•
Nimis – eating too much
•
Ardenter – eating too eagerly
•
Studiose – eating too daintily
•
Forente – eating wildly
Greed
Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity
or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However,
greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious
desire and pursuit of material possessions. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "Greed
is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns
things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the
penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated
too much on earthly thoughts Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects,
theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation
of authority are all actions that may be inspired by Greed. Such misdeeds can
include simony, where one attempts to purchase or sell sacraments, including
Holy Orders and, therefore, positions of authority in the Church hierarchy.
As defined outside of Christian
writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one
needs, especially with respect to material wealth.
Sloth
Sloth (Latin, Socordia) can entail different vices. While
sloth is sometimes defined as physical laziness, spiritual laziness is
emphasized. Failing to develop spiritually is key to becoming guilty of sloth.
In the Christian faith, sloth rejects grace and God.
Sloth has also been defined as a
failure to do things that one should do. By this definition, evil exists when
good men fail to act.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) wrote Present Discontents (II. 78) "No
man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself
that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours are of power
to defeat the subtle designs and united Cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad
men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an
unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
Over time, the "acedia"
in Pope Gregory's order has come to be closer in meaning to sloth. The focus
came to be on the consequences of acedia rather than the cause, and so, by the
17th century, the exact deadly sin referred to was believed to be the
failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. Even in Dante's time there were
signs of this change; in his Purgatorio he had portrayed the penance for
acedia as running continuously at top speed.
Wrath
Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be
described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath,
in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that
may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after
the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can
manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and self-destructive
behavior, such as drug abuse or suicide.
Wrath is the only sin not necessarily
associated with selfishness or self-interest, although one can of course be
wrathful for selfish reasons, such as jealousy (closely related to the sin of
envy). Dante described vengeance as "love of justice perverted to revenge
and spite". In its original form, the sin of wrath also encompassed anger
pointed internally as well as externally. Thus suicide was deemed as the
ultimate, albeit tragic, expression of hatred directed inwardly, a final
rejection of God's gifts.
Envy
Envy
Arch in the nave with a gothic fresco from 1511 of a man with a
dog-head, which symbolizes envy (Dalbyneder Church, Denmark)
Like greed and lust, Envy
(Latin, invidia) is characterized by an insatiable desire. Envy is
similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someone's traits,
status, abilities, or rewards. The difference is the envious also desire the
entity and covet it.
Envy can be directly related to
the Ten Commandments, specifically, "Neither shall you desire... anything
that belongs to your neighbour." Dante defined this as "a desire to
deprive other men of theirs". In Dante's Purgatory, the punishment for the
envious is to have their eyes sewn shut with wire because they have gained
sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low. Aquinas described envy as
"sorrow for another's good".
Pride
In almost every list, pride (Latin, superbia),
or hubris (Greek), is considered the original and most serious of the
seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as believing
that one is essentially better than others, failing to acknowledge the
accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of the personal self
(especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition
was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's
neighbour". In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all
the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian
doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his
desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his
resultant transformation into Satan. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents
are burdened with stone slabs on their necks, which force them to keep their
heads bowed.

hours. So, I have here a short refresher course for myself but I do not see the
use of it other than to say, “I have no idea what sins I have committed and not
committed.” How could anyone know? Sometimes I cannot separate matters from my
mind and my heart. How could I ever know? You know what, once, when I thought I
was being confronted with a real Angel terrible thoughts rolled up and out of
my head, the more I tried to suppress any such terrible thought two more took
its place, or so it seemed. Finally, I just waved my hands and gave it all up.
I gave it away into nothing. What else could I do? I gave myself up and
literally became as nothing in heart and soul and mind. It all went away,
washed down the drain, so to speak. That’s how I feel now. I am done with this.
– rho
Post. – Amorella
1820 hours. Yes, Ma’am. I’ll post it. If you were an Angel I’d post it.
If you are entirely my imagination, I’ll post it too. Here’s why, it is the
truth as I was a witness to my own concerns with Hell and the Seven Deadly
Sins.
Now,
before I do, what has any of this to do with the Merlyn stories?
What do you think the marsupial humanoids
would say about these considerations? – Amorella
1824 hours. I have no idea.
You had low fat potato chips, baby carrots and nonfat cottage cheese for
supper. Carol had soup and chips. You watched last week’s “Believe” and ABC and
NBC News and half of tonight’s “This Old House Hour.” Other than that you are
in disbelief that I would focus on sins and such for the marsupial humanoids
because this, like many other aspects of the Merlyn books, is out of your
league, whatever that may be. Right? – Amorella
2054 hours. Two science fiction novels that touch on these aspects of
humane consciousness are from some time ago, Left Hand of Darkness and Stranger
in a Strange Land. I’m sure there are others but those are the ones that
come to mind presently. I know I taught Stranger but Darkness might have been
on the reading list in Future Studies/Science Fiction.
Hit Wikipedia here boy to better remind you
– this was forty years ago. – Amorella

The Left Hand of Darkness is a 1969 science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. It is
part of the Hainish Cycle, a series of books by Le Guin set in the fictional
Hainish universe, which she inaugurated in 1966. It is among the first books published
in the feminist science fiction genre, and the most famous examination of
sexless androgyny in science fiction.
Left Hand won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards as the year's "best
novel" according to convention participants and science fiction writers
respectively. In 1987, Locus: The
magazine of science fiction & fantasy field ranked it number two among
"All-Time Best SF Novels", based on a poll of subscribers. That same
year, Harold Bloom edited a critical anthology about the book and said in the introduction
that "Le Guin, more than Tolkien, has raised fantasy into high
literature, for our time".
Premise
Le Guin's introduction to the 1976 publication of the
book identifies Left Hand of Darkness as a "thought
experiment" to explore society without men or women, where individuals
share the biological and emotional makeup of both genders.
Setting
The Left Hand of Darkness is set in the "Hainish" universe, which Le Guin
introduced three years earlier in Rocannon’s
World, her first novel. The series describes the interplanetary expansion
started by the first race of humanity on the planet Hain, leading to the
formation of the League of All Worlds, and eventually expanding to the
eighty-three world collective called the Ekumen.
This novel takes place many centuries in the future -
no date is given, though the year 4870 has been suggested. An envoy, Genly Ai,
is on a planet called Winter ("Gethen" in the language of its own
people) to convince the citizens to join the Ekumen. Winter is, as its name
indicates, a planet that is always cold, and its citizens are “ambisexual,”
spending the majority of time as asexual “potentials.” They only adopt gendered
attributes once-monthly, during a period of sexual receptivenesss and high
fertility, called kemmer, in which individuals can assume male or female
attributes, depending on context and relationships. These conditions have
affected the development of civilizations on Winter, such that the planet has
never known war.

Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A.
Heinlein. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to
Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by
Martians. The novel explores his interaction with—and eventual transformation
of—terrestrial culture. The title is an allusion to the phrase in Exodus 2:22. According to Heinlein, the
novel's working title was The Heretic. Several later editions of the
book have promoted it as "The most famous Science Fiction Novel ever
written".
Heinlein got the idea for the
novel when he and his wife had some brainstorming one evening in 1948, and she
suggested a new version o Rudyard Kipling’s The
Jungle Book, where a human child is raised by Martians instead of wolves.
He decided to go further with the idea, and worked on the story on and off for
more than a decade before it was complete. After he'd finished Stranger in a
Strange Land, his editors at Putnam required him to drastically cut its
original 220,000-word length down to 160,067 words. In 1962, this version
received the Hugo Award for Best
Novel.
After Heinlein's death in 1988,
his wife Virginia arranged to have the original uncut manuscript published in
1991. Critics disagree over which is superior: Heinlein preferred the original
manuscript over the heavily edited version which was initially published, which
he called "telegraphese". There is similar contention over the two
versions of Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars.
In 2012 the US Library of Congress named it one of 88
"Books that Shaped America."
Literary significance and criticism
Like many influential works of
literature, Stranger made a contribution to the English language:
specifically, the word "grok". In Heinlein's invented Martian
language, "grok" literally means "to drink" and
figuratively means "to comprehend", "to love", and
"to be one with". One dictionary description was "To understand
thoroughly through having empathy with". This word rapidly became common
parlance among science fiction fans, hippies, and computer hackers, and has
since entered the Oxford English Dictionary among others.
The phrase "I am but an
egg," which came into common usage during the 1960s paraphrases a line
from Stranger in a Strange Land: "I am only an egg". The
phrase means, roughly, "I am a lowly novice, barely able to understand the
concepts in question".
A central element of the second
half of the novel is the religious movement founded by Smith, the "Church
of All Worlds", an initiatory mystery religion blending elements of
paganism and revivalism with psychic training and instruction in the Martian
language. In 1968, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart (then Tim Zell) founded the Church of
All Worlds, a Neopagan religious organization modeled in many ways after the
fictional organization in the novel. This spiritual path included several ideas
from the book, including polyamory, non-mainstream family structures, social
libertarianism, water-sharing rituals, an acceptance of all religious paths by
a single tradition, and the use of several terms such as "grok",
"Thou art God", and "Never Thirst". Though Heinlein was
neither a member nor a promoter of the Church, it was formed including frequent
correspondence between Zell and Heinlein, and he was a paid subscriber to their
magazine Green Egg. This Church still
exists as a 501(c)(3) recognized religious organization incorporated in
California, with membership worldwide, and it remains an active part of the
neopagan community today.
Stranger was written in part as a deliberate attempt to challenge social
mores. In the course of the story, Heinlein uses Smith's open-mindedness to
reevaluate such institutions as religion, money, monogamy, and the fear of
death. Heinlein completed writing it ten years after he had
(uncharacteristically) plotted it out in detail. He later wrote, "I had
been in no hurry to finish it, as that story could not be published
commercially until the public mores changed. I could see them changing
and it turned out that I had timed it right."
Stranger contains an early description of the waterbed, an invention
which made its real-world debut a few years later in 1968. Charles Hall, who
brought a waterbed design to the United States Patent Office, was refused a
patent on the grounds that Heinlein's descriptions in Stranger and
another novel, Double Star,
constituted prior art.
Heinlein reportedly named his main character
"Smith" because of a speech he made at a science fiction convention
regarding the unpronounceable names assigned to extraterrestrials. After
describing the importance of establishing a dramatic difference between humans
and aliens, Heinlein concluded, "Besides, whoever heard of a Martian named
Smith?" ("A Martian Named Smith" was both Heinlein's working title
for the book and the name of the screenplay started by Harshaw at the end). The
title "Stranger in a strange land" is taken from Exodus 2:22
"And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I
have been a stranger in a strange land".

hours. Oh, my. It has been too long ago. Stranger is more my concern here. I am
apprehensive that whatever the marsupial humanoids think about sins and the
like might prove a shock for the reader, and me too, for that matter. My
current position is that I have to have time to consider such a concept of
these Earthlings hearing what the three might tell them about their society
that is 20,000 years in advance of our own. These three aliens have forgotten
how it must have been in their own culture to eventually arrive at their own
mores. Their tale of cosmology is still an aspect I like very much but it is
foreign to me still. What ‘caused’ such a story to be formed in the first place?
What had they learned scientifically that would allow such a story to be molded
into their culture way back some 20,000 years earlier? The myth had been lost
all this time. I mean, in my mind there is a novel in its history alone. I
think I have had enough for tonight. Why is all this important now? It seems
like it would go in the second or even third refurbished novel. You shock my
mind into thinking things I would never really consider for these books.
You have run out of words for the moment. All
I am asking you to do here is to consider these things. – Amorella
2138 hours. I will do so. I am not afraid as much as I am cautious. I
don’t want to get in over my head Amorella.
That will never happen boy. How would that
be possible? That’s something else for you to think about. – Amorella
2140 hours. You are right. I cannot think of something I cannot think. I
cannot imagine something beyond my imagination. None of this is a matter of
believe, it is a matter of both reason and imagination. This is my anchor,
reason and imagination.
Good. Post. - Amorella
