The three-fold process there is important, and it helps to pinpoint the workings of the "mechanism" of mortal mind: "…first endure, then pity, then embrace." It starts with "enduring" evil and error: neglecting to deny error, reverse it, affirm truth. This not done, it is too easy to accept the error as the regular state of things, and finally hug it to ourselves even if it makes us strike out. Just to mix in a little more baseball metaphor!LowlyWisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605042465598890784.post-72207539972813695862010-07-18T17:07:56.578-07:002010-07-18T17:07:56.578-07:00Thanks, Christian, for a creative, well-written bl...Thanks, Christian, for a creative, well-written blog.
