Well, it's pretty close. First I suggested that Blicero was not opposing
"Nature's cycle," but THEIR (fathers/sons) death/infection cycle, and that
he sought to transcend that. Next I supposed that this difference might be
fallacious as Blicero's world-view might not acknowledge this distinction.
Here's a new question: Would Bliceros' sincere lack of seeing a "Nature's
cycle" which is uncorrupt, and his subsequent desire to transcend it (via
whatever means he finds) make him evil?
My question was about the meaning of the "death/infection" cycle text and
Terrance's ascribimg its true meaning to someone other than the "speaker."
