'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 344

344. My life consists in my being content to accept many things.



that may be the so  –

but even if that is the case –

the fact is –

you can be content –

and be critical –

and have an open mind

in any case –

the logical point is –

there is nothing in this life –

that is not –

open to question –

that is not –

open to doubt
