(August 28, 2012 at 4:22 pm)MysticKnight Wrote: Here is sort of line of reasoning I've had for a long time. Greatness is founded in a living eternal reality, and like greatness can be perceived, so can this trait be seen as an essential trait of it. The foundation of all greatness cannot be other then ultimate greatness, for ultimate greatness is included in greatness (all together).

Once we derive ultimate greatness exists, we know it must have some essential attributes, for if it didn't have them, it would not be ultimately great.

These include being compassionate, merciful, loving, forbearing etc. How do we know this? Well through the greatness that has descended into our souls and is the foundation of our souls along with what said earlier. We been given some knowledge of what is essential to being ultimately great.

Ahhh, the idiotic and tiredsome fallacy of "If I arbitrarily assign a quantitative attribute to something, then that quantitaive attribute must exist as an real entity, and furthermore must include some instance where the attribute reach an as great a value as my leaking slippery mind can imagine".
