non-objectivity

We, and our judgment, and all mortal things

go on flowing and rolling unceasingly.

Thus nothing certain can be established

about one thing by another,

both the judging and the judged

being in continual change and motion.


--- Montaigne

    Thanks Cathy; I'm reading a wonderful book titled, "How to Live: Or a Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer" by Sarah Bakewell.

    Hi Sasa, Bakewell's book also makes him seem very human and lovable.
