Deep Thoughts from Wretchard

The Belmont Club has an unusual post up this morning. I guess by definition any post that is partly about Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose will be unusual. I was left thinking that the quote, "But while he lived, he lived" would be a fitting epitath for anyone and that the closing paragraph should be read at least twice by anyone posting on the Internet:

For these somewhat fanciful reasons I hope that the blogosphere will become less a cockpit of argument and ideas -- though it will always be that -- and more a forum for action: a place to facilitate meetings between real people, develop actual applications and accomplish physical tasks. There never was a flower, a glass of beer or a child's laugh that was ever truly futile. Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

The Latin at the end loosely means "and always will be thus" or "forever". The post by Wretchard made me think of this thread over at SportsJournists.com. Live for today, be a simple kind of man, do the things you love and understand. Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
