人无信就是畜生

[jeremiadt]

纳投名状
结兄弟谊
死生相托
吉凶相救
福祸相依
患难相依
外人乱我兄弟者
视投名状，必杀之！
兄弟乱我兄弟者
视投名状，必杀之！

从此
兄弟的命就是命
其他的
皆可杀！

Well said. But I wonder, when the time comes, we'll be able to do what we must, what we should.

I was just thinking about pre-Christian/post-Christian morality and how I'm carrying a baggage of mixed cultural costumes. It being the Easter holiday and all.

Who is this anyway?

Ah I see. Well for me it's the perennial question of who are your true friends; in the truest sense of the word.

It's me Daryl.

that matters.. but so does the ignorance of injustice in friendship.

[lidzz]

Is the question "Should we ignore injustice in friendship?" or "Is there even a place for injustice in friendship in the first place?"?

[jeremiadt]

why the "should" or "is" in framing the question? let the Dasein take over and enjoy the ride :)

What I really meant to say is that there might be greater value and meaning in ignorance when there is reverie involved in a self-interpretation of friendship regardless of the "justness" of friendship. Confronted with the uncertainty regarding whether a friendship is reciprocal or not, faith in the goodness of this relationship without knowledge of its actual benefit appears to be noble. Now, I believe philosophy cannot give an account of this nobility without rarefying or emptying out the spirit of nobility's beauty.

So the alternative? A Heideggerian "Resoluteness" or Entschlossenheit or a spiritual faith in the inherent "goodness" of friendship beyond reasonable speculation.
