"The crown was the rim of the goblet, the point at witch fullness becomes excess." - Aristotle. Hopefully as a class we can reach this precipice without reaching the point of excess. Judging from the first class and the experience of our professor i have no doubt that we will be successful in staying right on the edge. speaking of the first day of class we were told to find an origin myth well I googled origin myths and was astonished at the diversity of these myths. Everything from ancient Greek myths to thousands of early civilizations stories of origin.
I started to read The Marriage of Camus and Harmony and was instantly very confused. It took me a couple of pages to figure out that i was essentially reading a history of Europa that was told in reverse chronological order. The reason for this order was to show that every story is connected and attempted to find the origin of this story. this writing style was foreign to me and i am still not sure if i like it but it defiantly proved the point that all stories have an origin and that origin probably has an origin as well.
