And so I routinely partook of this philosophic orange until
the other day when I happened to read a Mortimer Alder's
response to “What good is the study of Philosophy?”
“That's just one of those silly pragmatic questions. Just
be satisfied that you 've learned^omething. Without ideas
you're in the dark. As light is to vision, ideas are to under” standi ng: People play tennis and ski because they enjoy using
.their bodies skillfully. Well, you've got a mjnd. It's exactly
the same thing.”

'
Lacomte dd Nouye, a Freeh philosopher and mathemati­
cian,pu it another way in the introduction to his book Human
Destiny: “ Don' t v j u st read, b u t at t i mes stop and ha nd let he
ideas, like a sculptor would handle clay and mold a subjec­
tive thing of beauty.”
■ I guess that in my obsession to survive in this competitive
world, I had forgotten about my philosophical orange; that it
could be enjoyed and utilized in many ways.
But alas.' modern man has a tendency of being vogue out­
side arid vague inside, and so I shall saunter down Yonge
Street in my Sassoon jeans and Gucci shoes, and whenever
I encounter any setback, I will quote Reaganomics and say
" with wisdom: “It' s merely a temporary abheration that has
