All correct philosophies have a certain ‘ring of truth’ to them. Without the ring of truth, the philosophy is either flawed in some way, or the recipient is not yet prepared to be exposed to that philosophy.

My question is, how does one know which applies?

Should a new idea which doesn’t have the ring of truth be immediately discarded because it is flawed, or should a new idea which doesn’t gel be placed in a mental parking space to be addressed later?
