Inter.spem.et.metum Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Hello I am looking forward to the discussions I will be joining, and I hope that you will enjoy the discussions I will be posting. Natura nihil fit in frustra. Einar Waldun Quote
CraigD Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Welcome to hypography, Einar – if you like what you’ve seen here, we’ll likely like what you have to say Natura nihil fit in frustra.Even though I don’t know Latin per se, this phrase is within my grasp (though I’m philosophically inclined to think that, like beauty, frustra is much in the eye of the beholder). The only part of your name I recognize, however, is inter and et – care to illuminate it a bit, for classics-challenged readers like me? Quote
Inter.spem.et.metum Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Posted September 26, 2007 Inter spem et metum means "between hope and fear", while the Natura fit in frustra roughly translates that "Nature does nothing in vain." Philosophically, all things are in the eye of the beholder, the debate is whether or not this is true. I tend to believe that as all things are dependant upon those things that occured before them, all things are in their rightful place, even if human perception reasons otherwise. Thank you for the welcome. Einar Waldun Quote
