Build Your Own Philosophy, Period 2, 3/1/10

Can it be that a white horse is not a horse?

Tyler still looked like crap as the students filed in today. Red nose, wastebasket full of snotty tissues at his side, the whole bit.

"Hi," he said wanly. "Hope you aren't all still hung over from the Bahamas. Your midterm is due today, so I assume you're all ready to hand in your papers and talk about one of the philosophers discussed in class. If you aren't, make something up fast."

"If you want to grade grub, the extra credit question is to analyze when a white horse is not a white horse." He looked into the scrum of students. "You," he said. "Present your paper first."

Tyler looked skeptical, then surprised as he went to snort back his mucus (so classy) and found ... nothing. "Wow. I can breathe," he said gratefully. "You okay? You could put Rite Aid out of business with that."

"I am fine," Raven said, assured him with a smile, pleased to have been able to use her gifts. "When I heal an illness or injury, it momentarily passes through me. But it is only a minor discomfort, and I am happy that I have helped you."

"And I'm happy to have been helped," Tyler said, permitting himself a tiny smile of his own. "Thanks. Any way I can pay you back?"

"There is no need," Raven said, shaking her head. "Using my gifts to help others is fulfilling enough on its own for me."
