Contradictory statement by L. Csonka (animal farm read .TXT) 📕

We learn by mistakes, we need opponents, critics, even enemies, to do us some good in that way by contradicting us. Loving enemies are best.

When we do become aware of a mistake, it can help us to see what it was that we really wanted, as opposed to what we thought we wanted when we made the mistake. Theory, practice and mistakes evolve together. There is no "Which came first?" in evolution, it is continuous, in loops.

This suggests that we might do well to consider, when making a statement, whether it is possible that an opposite, contradictory statement might not also be true, with a small shift of perspective. It takes only a moment to recover, as it were, from the apparent contradiction and to see an unexpected truth being conveyed—our childhood determines the kind of person we become. A good joke is an unexpected truth. Nothing can be seen whole, in a single description or perspective.

Our ancestors went ahead of us and we follow after them, in time. And yet it is now we who are going on ahead of them, from where they left off. We ride on their shoulders and carry them forward on ours. They gave birth to us and we give them new birth by perpetuating their ideas. God created man in his own man image and man imagined, created, made God in his own male image. Our supreme values,our gods motivate our actions and thus make us what we become. Our gods create us and we imagine and create them. Both evolve together.
