I knew I liked Neitzsche for a reason!

"I would not know what the spirit of a philosopher might wish more to be than a good dancer."

Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, section 381

I can't believe someone actually said that! I can only go by me but I think if someone knew the deepest darkest thoughts of philosophers this is one of them.

I was born with a club foot which comes with muscular entropy in the affected area. This means for me that my left foot can't keep up with my right foot. So I have a bad habit of losing my rhythm just when I get a good groove going:( I like dancing because it is the best and most satisfying method of expressing emotions especially joy. It's really good for seduction too;) It's also more fun than doing jumping jacks for keeping in shape.

When you're a philosopher (not necessarily just by profession) your mind is filled with thoughts and emotions that always threaten to overwhelm you. You need a means of working those out. Dancing is the best way as far as I'm concerned. I don't know why the physical and mental are thought of as so divided. As kids we dance at the drop of a hat. What could be better proof of it as the best method of expression than that?
