Summary

This quote suggests that encountering a paradox, or a seemingly contradictory situation, can be a positive and hopeful event because it presents an opportunity for progress.

By embracing the paradox, we are encouraged to consider new perspectives, find creative solutions, and ultimately move forward in our pursuit of knowledge and growth.

Fear

At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear.
