The nerd strikes again.
Before I watched any of the episodes, I took a test on Hasbro and it came out that I was most similar to Twilight, for obvious similarities in bookishness!
So no wonder I would bring in some interesting reads from the Classical Era (remember Star Swirl?)

John Dewey describing “associated living”. Magic of Friendship enhanced by Pragmatism. How most wonderful!
Associated living is to the mutual advantage of everyone concerned. It is like friendship. Friends help each other, exchange knowledge and insights, with the result that their lives are richer and more meaningful. Associated living is the highest ideal of social development.
I've been a bit perplexed by Princess Celestia's seeming excessive care of small things, like personally intervening the mess Twilight created. Aren't monarchs too busy attending their royal duties? Now, upon reading a excerpt from The Life of St. Louis by Jean de Joinville, I understood things better: the monarchs did care about small things, and they were praised for it.
The next day we returned to Saida, where the king was staying. We found that he had personally supervised the burying of the bodies of all the Christians that the Saracens had killed when they destroyed the city. He himself had carried some of the rotting, evil-smelling corpses to the trenches to be buried, and that without holding his nose as others had done. He had sent for workmen from all the country round, and had started to re-fortify the city with high walls and towers.
When we arrived at the camp we found that he himself had seen to measuring out the sites where our tents were to be set up.
He had allotted me a place near to the Compte d'Eu because he knew that this young knight was fond of my company.
"The more we find out about the universe, the more meaningless it all seems...... The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy."
