    I am new to this and seek to learn more than teach/preach. My view is still formative and plastic so I do not feel ready to present it to anyone yet.

    I seek a very simple philosophy, avoiding complex and acedemic definitions, leaving some to personal interpretation, what is good for me may not be good for you? My attention is now turning to nature and an appreciation of its wonder.

    Thank you Daryl!

    "what is good for me may not be good for you?" <<I think that is a very key point that is something Epicurus considered carefully. How COULD 'what is good for me" be "good for everyone" unless some master-planning god had made everyone the same? No, there is no master-planning god, and our faculty of pleasure is a very individual thing, so I think Epicurus incorporates that truth better than most philosophies.

    Also, especially in your learning mode, you should feel free to ask questions by starting threads in any of the forums that you see. That would be a great benefit to us, and hopefully as well to you!

    Thanks again for coming by!
