Obscurity and Profundity	tonyrey	11/30/05
............................................ Apparently simple questions, like "What is goodness?" are among the most difficult to answer. Is obscurity and even a degree of unintelligibility to be expected in profound explanations?

Clarification/Follow-up by Choux on 12/05/05 2:23 pm: Jon1667:: (not Jon1967 who I sometimes confuse you with) I'm surprised by your comment. Goodness is not a passive quality, it is a human being doing something...doing good. Therefore, one can picture a human being exhibiting goodness. For example: A picture in my mind is an adult female reaching out and touching the face of a child while smiling. :)

My opinion is that simple questions like "What is Goodness" are the easiest questions to answer. There are just people who don't understand non-concrete concepts. People who use too many words. In addition, it is very helpful to understand how to make a simile or a metaphor when one explains simple questions. A picture in one's mind is still worth a thousand words. :)
