Nosce te ipsum “Know thyself” |
Anyway, I do like them. All three, which are:
- “Know thyself”
- “Nothing in excess”
- “Certainty brings insanity”
I like that last one, which would be my answer to one of those quizzes “what’s your favourite hate?”. Which I’ve always thought of as “Blind Faith”. As in Yeats’ “The best lack all conviction, the worst are full of passionate intensity”. Like religious nutters. Who will kill themselves while murdering innocents. How can we deal with those blinded by faith? Who have no time for other ideas, who are made crazy by absolute certainty?
As we see on the far Left and the far Right.
