The Atheist Horseman Is a Complex Mix of Emotions
Your feelings for your tradition or your regard for your tradition is a complex mix of of emotions from abhorrence and shame and contempt to love that entire distribution okay. My sense is that that's expressed mythologically by two figures of tradition one the wise king and the other evil tyrant because all cultures are a meld of both although to a greater or lesser degree. If you read a piece of literature you want to dismiss that which is no longer relevant and extract out that which is crucialYeah that's critical reading yeah it's but the purpose isn't to dismiss no fundamentally the purpose is to mine No I would say another another very central piece of literature for me a higher literature than than Kipling most
