Something to Think About

    I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
    Jack London

    Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?
    Arthur C. Clarke

    What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.
    Saint Augustine

The Ring of Truth

Posted March 9th, 2006 in Musings by Michael Haupt

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?
