So you need to treat cyberspace with care, especially being aware of the fragile nature of trust in the virtual world.
In the next life you will be working with those attitudes that are now yours.
You should often amuse yourself when you take a walk for recreation, in watching and taking note of the attitudes and actions of men as they talk and dispute, or laugh or come to blows with one another. . . noting these down with rapid strokes, in a little pocket-book which you ought always to carry with you.

Science only means knowledge; and for [Greek] ancients it did only mean knowledge. Thus the favorite science of the Greeks was Astronomy, because it was as abstract as Algebra. . . . We may say that the great Greek ideal was to have no use for useful things. The Slave was he who learned useful things; the Freeman was he who learned useless things.

" Which is a manly attitude. Americans go abroad and they say, "Try not to quarrel so much", which is a feminine attitude.
Not to discriminate every moment some passionate attitude in those about us, and in the very brilliancy of their gifts some tragic dividing of forces on their ways, is, on this short day of frost and sun, to sleep before evening.
