<think of a meaningful introduction, poignant, personal, crude, and yet funny.... now imagine you read that here>
platonic relationship
.... um.. does anyone read the greeks anymore!?!!! the short and skinny of it was that a group of philosophers were discussing was is love, all of them, including Socrates (plato's mentor), agreed that while passion can exist between a man and a woman for the procreation of the line, love can only exist between a man and a young boy, Plato on the other hand disagreed vehemently arguing that love and passion is what exists between a man and a woman... so while most of us use the phrase to mean a non-sexual friendship between people of opposite genders, more acurately that friendship would be a socratic relationship, and a sexual reationship would infact be a platonic one.
Tragedy
Everytime something bad happens, or a bus load of kindergardeners runs off the road flips over 17 times and hits a tanker truck hauling gas at 80mph, they call it a "tragedy". Well.. it's not a fucking tragedy! Tragedy is a literary term that describes a story in which the protaganist is either killed or brought to ruin due to their possession of a virtue taken to the extreme point of being their fatal flaw (Such characters are of graced with the "Christ-Like" sorbiquet). the fuggin word comes from the greek "tragoita" meaning "goat's song", in reference to the ancient greek tradition of 'giving' your 'sins' or transgressions to the goat and then sacrificing it, so that your sins would die with it. So unless the people/person killed/harmed by the event was done so through exploitation of their extreme virtuous nature, then it's not a tragedy.. it's just a shitty day for them.
or I suppose if you placed all of you sin on your five-year-old before walking him to the bus stop, then waiting to slap a small explosive charge behind the Bus' wheel-well, waving to you kid the last time and chuckling about how he'd always said he liked roller-coasters...... then ok..you could call it a treagedy....
Ironic.
a while back Alanis Morrisette had a semi-popular song entitled "Ironic", now either she is a literary genius or just another illiterate fuck! You see during the course of the song she presents a whole host of situations, now here's the kicker, the only shred of irony in the whole crappy song is the fact that the title is "ironic", while the situations presented are unfortunate, not one of them is infact ironic... genius..or ignorance...personally she doesn't strike me as the real cerebral type... If I had to guess I'd say she's about 15 IQ points away from shitting herself.. ignorant cunt anyways.. but she is not alone..Irony is a difficult concept and is a beautiful and rare thing that is all too often mistaken for a bad timing.
