Quote by David Ansen

We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike.

We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make

Summary

This quote suggests that our personal preferences and opinions play a significant role in shaping our identity. The act of making distinctions and discriminations helps us determine what we love and what we dislike. By understanding and recognizing what we dislike, we are able to appreciate and value the things we love even more. This implies that our understanding of opposites or contrasts helps us cultivate a deeper appreciation and enriches our experiences and perceptions of the things we hold dear.
