"A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit
to be deemed a scholar."
- Lao-Tzu (570?-490? BC)
CONSIDER: What does Lao-Tzu mean by “the love of comfort,” and why is it inappropriate for a scholar who has it? What, in your mind, makes a perfect scholar (person of learning, such as a scientist, lawyer, or even an artist)?
Please consider
that we have learned three essential parts necessary to answer a question:
- Idea statement (similar to a thesis; summarizes your point)
- Evidence (in this case, the evidence is your experience and knowledge)
- Explanation (combine with evidence to prove your point)
Use
this format to answer these weekend discussions from now on; please also do
these things:
- Use a pseudonym (pen name) and not your real name when posting,
- Respond to someone else’s answer whenever possible, and
- Be polite and positive at all times!
