and justice.</div> <bR> <div> To the Reader,</div> <div> In our times of fast pace and multiple distractions, we have in good part, lost touch with that part of our lives that broad education and culture offer us. </div> <div> To fill that void, I have created this distinctive educultural e-magazine, Transition, as a quick and convenient "click away" access to broad, diversified topics ranging from Van Gogh's "Starry Night" to "Freud's legacy," to a Bill Gates interview, to Michelangelo's "Pieta," to  classical symphonies and rock concerts, to architecture around the world,  to classic film trailers, such as "On the Waterfront," to notable quotations on wisdom and friendship, to the comedian, Rodney Dangerfield, to the psychological observations of the philosopher Schopenhauer, and so forth.</div> <div> Each monthly issue of Transition will include different educational and cultural articles, inter- views, videos, of the various topics -- as presented on the reverse side of this leaflet.</div> <div> We hope that this educultural e-magazine will add to the meaning and luster of your day-to-day life. </div> <div> Feel free to comment briefly on any aspect of this educultural e-magazine either pro or con or both. They will be duly considered.</div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <div> Joseph and Sharon</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 4168 WIDTH="401"><div> <B>FAMOUS PAINTINGS & SCULPTURES</B></div> <div> <B>Van Gogh -

For without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods; even rich men and those in possession of office and of dominating power are thought to need friends most of all; for what is the use of such prosperity without the opportunity of beneficence, which is exercised chiefly and in its mostl audable form towards friends? Or how can prosperity be guarded and preserved without friends?</div> <div> [2]<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Calibri" > </FONT>The greater it is, the more exposed is it to risk. And in poverty and in other misfortunes men think friends are the only refuge. It helps the young, too, to keep from error; it aids older people by ministering to their needs and supplementing the activities that are failing from weakness; those in the prime of life it stimulates to noble actions - 'two going together' - for with friends men are more able both to think and to act. Again, parent seems by nature to feel it for offspring and offspring for parent, not only among men but among birds and among most animals; it is felt mutually by members of the same race, and especially by men, whence we praise lovers of their fellowmen.</div> <div> [3]<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#008000" FACE="Calibri" > </FONT>We may even in our travels observe how near and dear every man is to every other. Friendship seems too to hold states together, and lawgivers to care more for it than for justice; for unanimity seems to be something like friendship, and this they aim at most of all, and expel faction as their worst enemy; and when men are friends they have no need of justice, while when they are just they need friendship as well, and the truest form of justice is thought to be a friendly quality.</div> <div> [4] But it is not only necessary but also noble; for we praise those who love their friends, and it is thought to be a fine thing to have many friends; and again we think it is the same people that are good men and are friends.</div> <div> [5] Not a few things about friendship are matters of debate. Some define it as a kind of likeness and say like people are friends, whence come the sayings 'like to like', 'birds of a feather flock together', and so on; others on the contrary say 'two of a trade never agree'. </div> <div> [6] On this very question they inquire for deeper and more physical causes, Euripides saying that 'parched earth loves the rain, and stately heaven when filled with rain loves to fall to earth', and Heraclitus that 'it is what opposes that helps' and ' from different tones comes the fairest tune' and 'all things are produced through strife'; while Empedocles, as well as others, expresses the opposite view that like aims at like. The physical problems we may leave alone (for they do not belong to the present inquiry); let us examine those which are human and involve character and feeling, e.g. whether friendship can arise between any two people or people cannot be friends if they are wicked, and whether there is one species of friendship or more than one. Those who think there is only one because it admits of degrees have relied on an inadequate indication; for even things different in species admit of degree. We have discussed this matter previously.</div> <div> <B>…</B></div> <div> <B>To be continued next edition</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="333"><div> <B>ARTICLE TOPICS</B></div> <div>

EVIL</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>LITERARY AUTHORS</B></div> <div> <B>Churton Collins</B></div> <div> We are no more responsible for the evil thoughts that pass through our minds than a scarecrow for the birds which fly over the seed plot he has to guard. The sole responsibility in each case is to prevent them from settling.</div> <div> <B>D.H. Lawrence</B></div> <div> 1. At the bottom men love the brute in man best, like a great shire stallion makes one's heart beat. </div> <div> 2. Intellectual appreciation does not amount to so much, it's what you thrill to. And if murder, suicide, rape is what you thrill to, and nothing else, then it's your destiny - you can't change it mentally. You live by what you thrill to, and there's the end of it. </div> <div> 3. This is the very worst wickedness, that we refuse to acknowledge the passionate evil that is in us. This makes us secret and rotten.</div> <div> <B>George Bernard Shaw </B></div> <div> 1. When it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones. </div> <div> 2. It is easy - terribly easy - to shake a man's faith in himself. To take advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. </div> <div> <B>Somerset Maugham</B></div> <div> There is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. </div> <div> <B>Ernest Hemingway</B></div> <div> Some people show evil as a great racehorse shows breeding. They have the dignity of a hard chancre (the initial lesion of syphilis commonly a more or less distinct ulcer or sore with a hard base). </div> <div> <B>Joseph Conrad</B></div> <div> The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.</div> <div> <B>Charles Dickens</B></div> <div> 1. I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. </div> <div> 2.  "I know nothing of philosophical philanthropy. But I know what I have seen, and what I have looked in the face in this world here, where I find myself. And I tell you this, my friend, that there are people (men and women both, unfortunately) who have no good in them--none. That there are people whom it is necessary to detest without compromise. That there are people who must be dealt with as enemies of the human race. That there are people who have no human heart, and who must be crushed like savage beasts and cleared out of the way."</div> <div> <B>George Eliot</B></div> <div> No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from.</div> <div> <B>Mark Twain </B></div> <div> 1. Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough. </div> <div> 2. Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.</div> <div> 3. If the desire to kill and the opportunity to kill came always together, who would escape hanging?</div> <div> 4. I have always felt friendly toward Satan. Of course that is ancestral; it must be in the blood, for I could not have originated it.</div> <div> 5.  Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man" -- with his mouth.</div> <div> 6. The vast majority of the race, whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind-hearted and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don't dare to assert themselves.</div> <div> <B>Thomas Hardy</B></div> <div> Cruelty is the law pervading all nature and society; and we can't get out of it if we would.</div> <div> <B>Abraham Lincoln</B></div> <div> Knavery and flattery are blood relations.</div> <div> <B>Marriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe</B></div> <div> 'Cause I's wicked, - I is.
