Thought At Sunrise: Thought at Sunrise 287

3rd October

What is a mistake and what is right?
This is difficult to decide.
There are relative values, relative assessments, relative criteria and relative notions.
What one man thinks is a mistake another may believe to be true.
How can a third person pass judgement on that?
The one who passes judgement can not do so in absolute terms.
Even he has to decide in relation to the yardstick he has in mind.
It can not be said that the decision taken with the perspective of the absolute is totally correct either.
Yet, pragmatically speaking, some relative yardsticks are important.
