"Truth comes out of error more easily than out of confusion." -Francis Bacon
Justification:
This aphorism reminds me of those days in which I might end up getting a bad grade in math, and sometimes I just feel so disappointed, that I don't even ask the teacher how to fix it. Sometimes at home I get so confused before the subject, that I don't even know how to solve it. However, there was this one time where I finally built up the courage to ask my teacher what had happened. He explained what it was I was doing wrong, and then he offered me a different way of solving the problem. After that moment, I felt a lot more confident that I had mastery over the subject. And guess what. The next time I was faced with a problem like that, I knew how to solve it, and I proved it. I ended up getting a 4 on it!
So in the end, truth really does come out of error much easier than confusion does. I was at a loss for ideas before I asked the teacher, that at one point I even considered forgetting about it! But I knew, that along with math class, that grade was going to follow me until I get accepted into college. So I decided to take initiative, and ended up doing what I had to do. And as a result, I was greatly rewarded for my success.
So if you are ever worried about something, don't be worried about asking for help. Teachers are there to teach you. Thats why they are there.
A connection to "A Hero's Journey" by Joseph Campbell, would be that as a hero, the hero is expected to undergo several different challenges throughout his life in order to be recognized as the important character he is. Better yet, a part of the hero must die in order for him to be reborn. It is the process of transferring from being a dependent child to a self-responsible adult. The hero must first recognize the errors of his life in order to better understand the truth behind those errors. A hero won't be able to believe one thing if he previously heard another. The truth will only become clear, if the hero will permit the errors to flow in.
Well, thats the end of this blog post! Until the next one! Bye!
