Perhaps today

So I'm sitting here trying to get tickets for the choir concert. Internet is not the best.

Love is many things to many people. To me it has several meanings. The most important one is that when you love someone you desire their happiness and well-being. This is the love God has for us and the love we should have for everyone. It's almost the same as unselfishness. There are other kinds of love - love of parents and children for each other, love that a couple has for each other, love you have for your friends as aquaintences, love you have for a pet, and so on and so forth and so fifth, etc. Each of those is a bit different. Each of them usually includes familiarity by extended association, respect, and at least some of the first kind of love I mentioned. As Heather mentioned, it's too bad that so many people use the word love for so many different things, some of which are quite different from each other. Eskimos have n (not sure, but it's quite a few, like 50 or something) different words for snow. There should be different words for love like that. Charity is a good one and I think it's what the first type of love named above is. That way you could say that you love someone and not have people think you were weird because they would know exactly how you meant it and wouldn't think you were using the word in any of the other ways it is commonly used.

Well, I read about 1/2 of Alice in Wonderland last night. Whoever said that it was all mathematical and not nonsense at all was partly right. In the opening poem Carroll mentions that one of the three children who requested the story insisted that there be nonsense in it. (I suppose that Carrol could've just been being creative and the kids didn't get it and took it for fun nonsense and so requested more of the same since it was entertaining.) But there is definitely math in it. And social commentary, such as with the Duchess beating the child and severely calling it a Pig, which it became. And the math: The gardeners were numbered 7, 5, and 2. 7-5=2 I'll have to go back and re-read that bit to see if their comments to each other also suggest the same.

Oh good. The tickets are now available. Yay.
