Email: The examined life [SD]

I think what I'll do is take things like "Don't overdo yourself" in the general sense of nostrums like "Take care" or "Have a nice day": You are wishing me well, sometimes with a specific context, but one that is not to be taken literally (or else I would actually be a clumsy oaf who cannot take care of himself and must be warned not to overexert himself lest he truly do so). Scary thinking!

Heart knowledge comes closer to the human experience but head knowledge comes closer to (ensuring) the truth. Anyway, it is not an either/or contest, so there is no need to choose between the two when we truly need both at the same time.
