Veritas et Virtus. 1
We can have a conversation on the difference, if you’d like:
come equipped with any questions, 2
modes of inquiry into society and self. 3
An open exchange of ideas 4
accommodates the flow, 5
covers the nature of matter. 5
But how accurate are our understandings of what constitutes 6
characteristics of life? 5
Scrutinize the various ways. 7
Why do others attempt to remove the seams of our experience 8
when your success
ultimately
depends on you? 8
Finally, you will have access, 7
closely, into someone else’s consciousness. 4
New ideas emerge, and old ideas are discarded. 10
To better understand our society and ourselves by looking at a specific part of our roots,9
consider some of the most important lines of thought in history. 10
Most importantly, you are free to have fun. 2
