Quote by Mary Baker Eddy

Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind's faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which stemma to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity --namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that error is essentially a falsehood or misconception. It suggests that error arises when we mistakenly believe that pleasure, pain, intelligence, substance, or life exist in physical matter when, in fact, they do not. Error is seen as a belief devoid of true understanding, contradicting the nature of truth itself. The quote argues that if error were to be considered as true, it would lead to a paradoxical situation, as truth cannot be erroneous. Therefore, error is regarded as unreal because it is not based on truth and perpetuates a loss of the true standard of reality.

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

You know, as a young child, I lay in my bedroom and I swore to myself then: 'I'm not going to smoke and I'm not going to drink.' And I said I'm not going to just say that when I'm a kid. I'm going to stick to that as an adult. I kept that in mind my whole life.
