Arete and Random Talking and then Some More Importance
Arete(Accent over last e), the Greek word for excellence. But... What is Excellence? Excellence, is something extremely good or outstanding. Arete, is described as any kind of excellence, moral virtue, fulfillment of any purpose or function, and mostly the act of living up to ones full potential. Arete involves all of the abilities and potentialities available to humans. That highest human potential being knowledge itself. We have evolved so much, we started from monkeys who had the smarts to think, "Hey, when I bang this rock against that rock, it makes something pointy!" Now I am are sitting here at home, typing up this blog, on a COMPUTER, that was once a bunch of parts, before that metal and other things. After i finish this i am going to play either TitanFall2 or Jurassic World Evolution, on an Xbox, which is an advanced form of entertainment. Now, before I get to into evolution and end up in dinosaurs and how much they relate to birds and how one-third of dinosaur species may not even be real (babies and adults do not look alike)(This is what I mean), let me get into the Agoras and Polisies. What are Agoras and Polisies? An Agora is a gathering place, market place, or the center of life in a highly populated area. A Polis is a Political entry ruled by their bodies of citizens. Ancient Greece was the first place where the people where allowed to vote and make decisions for themselves. It is the first time in recorded history a people had revolted against their rulers! It was a huge turning point in history!!!
