Where do you get all this incredible stuff. You are absolutely wasting your young studying the weird lives of insignificant people.

Insignificant to whom?

Gemma,

Insignificant on any scale Gemma, worldscale timescale, name it.
I told you , saints don't grow on trees. They are created by humans for there own purposes.
Considering the scale of this planet, the number of people on it, the time this planet has been around, with or without humans, anything we do or say is insignificant. This includes artificially made saints.

Thora, if you were burning on the stake, I guarantee it would be significant to you. A mother has just lost her child. Go ahead, tell her the loss means "nothing" in the scheme of things.

Insignificant on any scale? How about the scale of a human life?

Only 19? I`ve read a few of your posts and assumed you were an old italian woman with a veil on your head. Go figure.

I did of course wonder what an old fanatical Italian woman in perpetual mourning with a head full of Catholic superstitions was doing online,but I figured that senility works in mysterious ways.

I am Italian by adoption, 50%.

Good guess.

Does the decsription of the old woman I mentioned sound a bit like anyone in your family?

No, not really, but I know the type. Both my grandmothers are Italian and old, but one has dementia, and the other is a quite liberal Catholic.

Augustine is a very important figure in the Western philosophical tradition Thor Q. Mada. He even anticipated the Cogito ("Si fallor, sum").
