Every truth passes through three stages before
it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed,
in the second it is opposed, in the third it
is regarded as self evident.
Give all options to the opponent, if you win its historical, if you fight and loose- he is definite to loose next time, if you loose-you can enjoy his happiness even.
Respect the past in the full measure of its desserts, but do not make the mistake of confusing it with the present nor seek in it the ideals of the future.
