WHAT DO YOU WANT?

"Without contraries there is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence."

William Blake (1757-1827) British poet/painter.

Opposites attempt to change each other's position and out of this either comes further separation, or new thinking that might not otherwise exist.

Which it will be depends on your goals: resistance to or acceptance of change.

The former will leave you no better than before, the latter with hope for a better future.

ALL OR NOTHING, NEVER PARTLY IN

"When the sword of rebellion is drawn, the sheath should be thrown away."

English proverb

Meaning, don't pick fights you don't intend to finish.

If whatever you wish to oppose is important enough to start your opposition, make sure it is also important enough to finish.

THAT WON'T WORK BECAUSE . . .

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities."

Albert Einstein

20th century German, Swiss, US scientist

Think about this the next time you find yourself first thinking someone else's suggestion won't work, before (if at all) you think about the possibility that it might.
