Forgiveness

[malignd at aol.com]

I realize you pleaded merlot, but I don't understand what you're asking.   What do you mean by "saved"?  Do you mean it in the biblical sense, or just in the sense of changing one's life?  If the former, I have no interest; if the latter, I'd say many things can save someone:  reflection, education, humility, a lack of humility, luck, mentorship, a bad experience, a good experience ...  


If not by love, can anyone be saved? Is there anything but
love that can save someone? If so, what, and would it
even be worth it? I think Z realizes that only love can save
someone. It might not, given the vagaries of chance, but
without it, there is no chance. The question is stupid because
it's obvious.

All that is required is forgiveness.  Isn't forgiveness a large issue within
all of P-Lit, and can we or should we equate it with love?

Forgive me, Pynchon-Liste.  I know not what I do.

Actually, and this may be the couple, three now, glasses of
merlot talking, but I think that the question makes sense only
if it is signal processed a bit, transformed, say:

If not by love, can anyone be saved? Is there anything but
love that can save someone? If so, what, and20would it
even be worth it? I think Z realizes that only love can save
someone. It might not, given the vagaries of chance, but
without it, there is no chance. The question is stupid because

also the wedding question of Zoyd: "do you think love can save anyone?
 You do, don't you?"  - why is this a stupid question?
