Because I think it's stupid. But yesterday I found two books that prove it. (not really prove in uh three dimensions-nevermind).
One is by Will Durant and I think the man is spot on. He's dead though.
The other book is called Markings with a foreword by W. H. Auden. A wordy man. The author is Dag Hammarskjold. I am descended from Swedish on one side of the family so I bought the book. Also because it is written in the style of forum.
I got off track a little bit. (but didn't write it!)
How?
So far I have agreed with Will in everything. But I have found nothing to agree with with (except that) W. H. Auden.
A ring is a circle so eventually opposites must be together (in a circle-not in a strait line-obviously)
There are suppose to be two withs there, Just saying.
Here is what I hope is not true what W. H. Auden said. He is responding to what Thoreau said and I agree and also proves my point "It is as hard to see oneself as to look backwards without turning around". I believe that is TRUE. But then Mr. Auden had to ruin it by saying "The truth is that our friends--and our enemies--always know us better than we know ourselves". I have two things to say about that. The first thing is--my friends know that I am good enough and--my enemies know I am worthless. But I don't agree with anyone, well, anyone who's alive that is. I believe I am NOT good enough and I trust I am NOT worthless. So he is wrong imho.
But I know how to make him right. About what he wrote. Our Friend, God and our enemy Devil knows us better than we know ourselves.
