In addition to what he says about forgetfulness of children, which helps them reinvent themselves, they also lack the preconceived notion/definition of most of the things. And hence they seldom feel like sticking to things and make thing temporary in such way as to 'really' live in present. ---------------------- Forwarded by PTCFireSafety HZ/HAZIRA/RIL on 02/02/2002 09:19 --------------------------- newidder <N.E.Widder-AT-exeter.ac.uk>-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu on 01/02/2002 13:13:13 Please respond to nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu Sent by: owner-nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu To: nietzsche-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu cc: Subject: RE: Of the Three Metamorphoses Basically the child is innocent not by being pure (for no one and no thing is pure) but because the child forgets. Think about little kids when they have fights and each says "I'm never playing with you again" -- in about 15 minutes they're playing again. When their parents get into a fight, though, and say "I'm never going to speak to you again", they never speak to each other again. The parents are sunk in ressentiment; the innocent forgetting of the child is a path to overcoming.
