Hawkwing Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'm assuming yes, as I haven't played either of those two games. Why should you listen neither "to the over-wise nor the over-foolish giant"? I'm curious about what the phrase means. (Try to provide both a funny and a serious answer, please. Or one or the other if you want to say something but someone else already responded).

I've read it from C.S. Lewis in the Four Loves (great book, by the way), though I didn't know that someone else had used the phrase. I'm curious largely because I wonder the the supposed danger in being "over-wise" is (other than seeing the world for what it is, and the disillusionment that follows). 14 minutes ago, IfIHadToPickADude said: Why in the world do "Nice Guys" exist? ...Because kindness is a virtue that some people have?

In reality people who claim that they are a "Nice Guy" or complain that "nice guys finish last" tend to be manipulative losers. If you're kind you don't have to broadcast it to the world.

Since my dictionary doesn't actually have the word, I had to search online for it. That's basically the same definition I found, although strangely it seems to be used derogatorily in several other works as well.

(His books are fine but I'm not exactly a fan of the guy) Searching another resource, the "don't follow any extremes" part might be accurate. I actually got the phrase from C.S. Lewis's "The Four Loves" which I'm rereading (again), and since I was always curious on what it meant, I decided to bring it up here. I'm a fan of Lewis, although I can understand the sentiment. I personally enjoy his style of writing, but I can see why others don't. Some of his earlier fictional works, although good, do have some pretty noticeable flaws (Although "Till We Have Faces" is probably his best fictional work. It avoids the problems that his earlier works have, and it really shows his growth as a writer. It also helps that the story is "mature" in the sense that the story is thoughtful and surprisingly heavy, and avoids the "we're mature 'cause we got violence and s*x and sh*t" problem that plagues most modern works). And although I'm understanding towards his occasional misogyny as I keep the time period of historical authors in mind when reading, I can see how others can be bothered by it. The Screwtape Letters and Till We Have Faces are still my favorite books in general, though. Seeing as I accidentally Ninja'd you, let's, uh, count this as an interlude, shall we? The next guy/gal can answer both our questions. Edited May 11, 2018 by Hawkwing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
