Philosophizing the Stone

Most blogs seem to be big on Philosophy -in some way or another.
I dunno . . . I just can't do it.
It's not that I don't enjoy the occational bout with the realm of intelect (There are some who take it too far; here in the land of Poles there's a regular who loves Philosophy -as in "We need to understand the Philosophy of the Polish farmers . . .Or of their wagons . . . or the potatoes that they grow.")
On the whole, however, I prefer to stay away from the stuff.
These days putting an intelectual twist of lime into our chassidus is all the rage.
We like it on the rocks, shaken not sirred -and with a large, thin slice of lemon peel for a garnish. .
Take a look at the article on CrownHeights.info about Matisyahu (Matisyahu: Rabbi Or Rebbel)
Besides the "Kabbalistic" explanation of Matis's actions (which though true in theory, they hardly touch the ramifications of his actions [which is an entirely different conversation]) there was a refference to "post-modern French philosophy".
Who are we fooling?
On Shlichus this talk serves a purpose . . . but to ourselves?
I dunno . . . I dunno . . .
Sometimes we need to take a Chassidus like the Russians (or Poles) -with out the twist of lemon.
