Good Tuesday Morning!
1. Question – Aren’t we all – and
everything in this world – so so so
‘Unique?’
2. Thought – Then there is the opposite attack on
thought: that urged by Mr. H. G. Wells when he insists
that every separate thing is “unique,” and
there are no categories at all. This also is merely
destructive. Thinking means connecting things, and stops
if they cannot be connected. It need hardly be said that
this skepticism forbidding thought necessarily forbids
speech; a man cannot open his mouth without contradicting
it. Thus when Mr. wells says (as he did somewhere),
“all chairs are quite different,” he utters
not merely a misstatement, but a contradiction in terms.
If all chairs were quite different, you could not call
them “all chairs.” (Orthodoxy by G.K.
Chesterton)
“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most
people judge.”
(Carl Gustav Jung)
