I put it down to the fact that their Suns lay quite close to my own natal Aries Moon.<br /><br />But, as a blog buddy of mine often says "de mortuis nil nisi bonum", so I'll not expand on my irritation. The fault may well be mine.<br /> <br />I usually react well to Aries Sun people. My husband is one, but very early in the sign and well away from my Moon.<br />:-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-72014140421312343282011-12-17T12:20:34.694+00:002011-12-17T12:20:34.694+00:00From one of the many tribute pieces to Hitchens pu...From one of the many tribute pieces to Hitchens published today: "He could marshal every rational argument against religious belief and deliver it with a lethal mixture of irony and venom, but what he lacked in this regard at least was empathy. When it came to any discussion about the consolations or the empowering strengths of belief, as Hitchens admitted, he simply didn’t 'get it’.<br />This is very revealing. In my personal experience, Aries people often find it hard to empathise - it's not that they're uncaring, it's just that they see their own opinion as being so devastatingly and overwhelmingly indisputable.gawd_almightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621959533913494983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-15546568384657805092011-12-17T05:04:27.470+00:002011-12-17T05:04:27.470+00:00Nicely put, the part about faith and certainty, in...Nicely put, the part about faith and certainty, in particular. Also the quote about art and architecture. Last night I revisited art I've been pulled to week after week. It breaks open a little more each time. I feel grateful for what is at work and wouldn't care to put a name to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-58920616082718660152011-12-16T17:25:01.088+00:002011-12-16T17:25:01.088+00:00Appreciated your Hitchens comments.

Ironic that he died on the same day that we were treated to officialese about the demise of that war. bbBBnoreply@blogger.com
