The scholar sits down to write, and all his years of meditation do not furnish him with one good thought or happy expression but it is necessary to write a letter to a friend, and, forthwith, troops of gentle thoughts invest themselves, on every hand, with chosen words.īut beyond the rewards of emotion and intellect lies an even deeper satisfaction - that of the soul: Our intellectual and active powers increase with our affection. More than mere gratification of the heart, however, Emerson celebrates friendship as something that expands and enriches our intellectual landscape: The emotions of benevolence … from the highest degree of passionate love, to the lowest degree of good will, they make the sweetness of life. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we honor, and who honor us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom, though silently, we warmly rejoice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eyebeams. Barring all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.
We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken.

In an essay on the subject, found in his altogether soul-expanding Essays and Lectures ( public library | free ebook), Emerson considers the intricate dynamics of friendship, beginning with our often underutilized innate capacities: This delicate dance has been examined by thinkers from Aristotle to Francis Bacon to Thoreau, but none more thoughtfully than by Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803–April 27, 1882). as I'd said before, autosaves weren't an option due to my stupid and desperate decision to search the tavern, but it all turned out alright somehow.It’s been argued that friendship is a greater gift than romantic love (though it’s not uncommon for one to turn abruptly into the other), but whatever the case, friendship is certainly one of the most rewarding fruits of life - from the sweetness of childhood friendships to the trickiness of workplace ones.
it allowed me to break the whole ordeal into three separate encounters. I basically just really delicately snuck up the enemies in order to engage as few of them at a time as possible. I actually managed to beat it by equally cheesy methods. The key is to interrupt those priests as often as possible before they repeatedly heal everyone.ĭo you have an auto-save from when you entered that region ? I tried this battle about 30 times before admitting it was too hard as a level 5 character and just roaming around doing other stuff until I levelled everyone up a notch. At the same I had a ranged attacker aim for one of the priests, and my ranger's wolf attacking the other. Also picked up a Druid recently with some pretty nice spells, including one that repeatedly casts lightning on an enemy every so often for the whole battle. Cheesey I know, but I was tired of losing this one :) Then immediately and repeatedly fireballing them with my wizard, and hitting them with Pillar of Faith from my Cleric.
