RE: Philosophical Metaphysics and the Categories of Being (Foundations of the Trivium Method)

Imagine a world without word symbols or language. It'll probably be frustrating but you can't describe it as frustrating because the description wouldn't even exist. Sorry, weird random thought at 2:30 am. Moving on, I was initially confused when you said

Actions are created but do not persist in time and space for them be recognized and identified, just as events appear then fade.

Because we have history books recording actions with all the cause and effect. Until I realized you meant actions as not fixed in existence the way green being green or humans being humans are. Because after we recognize that oh the plant is green, it will still be there physically as a plant and something green for the next people to see it as a green plant. Whereas in actions, if I move my hand from left to right, after that it's just done with. Or did I misunderstand it? Speaking of actions being created, I should get to catching up on steemit readings.

Indeed, that's why I often elaborate on things which takes up more text and makes things longer, but it's often needed as short sayings can be ambiguous to a reader hehe.
