AH... many thanks joe..merle Merle,
The world has moved on since then; and, before then. ;-) I think the key is just not to over-use it. Like cliches. I think it's almost always better to use simple descriptive language than to use a cliche. People are numb to cliches, but more original language can wake people up, instead. Are there Zen cliches? No. Every utterance is fresh. Even if it is repeated. Nice! If a person is awakened, that is. Impossible to "fake it". Replies to "testing-questions" asked by teachers must be authentic -- even if not original -- for the teacher to "pass" a student on a koan, say; teachers sense the difference between words or expressions that you own, and those you borrow or steal. Phew; post is back on-topic. Nice! ;-) --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > at high school i was taught in english grammar never to use nice..nice > biscuit that was about it!..it's a lazy man's english...everything is > nice/..... merle
