"The good is very often the enemy of the best." You find this fine and clever sentence on page 87 of Lingwoods booklet "Peace is a Fire", funnily enough in a chapter entitled "Morality". As a source for this the "Seminar on The Stability of Societies" is given. Unfortunately for Lingwood, everyone with a little literacy knows that this saying is commonly associated with Voltaire... And Sangharakshita even got the quote wrong... You might wanna google that for yourself. ...wondering what's coming next... |
