Good Morning Campers

Warmed up on my guitar in the park and now I'm just killing some time in the computer room at the local community centre. It's called the Carnegie Centre, named after the great philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. I don't know if Carnegie ever read Aristotle's Ethics, but there are a few paragraphs there on the virtue of magnificence. It is one of the more exclusive virtues, only attainable by the wealthy. In so many words, Aristotle explained that a good deed is its own reward, but that a great deed is even more rewarding. (It probably follows that an evil deed is its own punishment, but if you don't believe it, just watch some of those old Twilight Zone episodes from the 60's and you'll see what I mean.) In Dante's Inferno, there was a special area of Hell for good men like Aristotle who did not have the advantage of living in the time of Christ. It was kind of like a nice vacation resort. The idea was that good men do not get punished, not even in Hell. Before I go again let me remind you that I'm going onstage tonight. I have to try to do it before I run out of money for the cab fare to get my amp there and back.
