“All truth passes through three phases: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed, and Third, it is accepted as self-evident.” — Arthur Schopenhauer
This is a great moment of insight from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and a hopeful reminder for those whose truths are still in the first or second stages of global consciousness.
Ironically the principle can also be applied to some of Schopenhauer's own views, particularly on the role of women in society and on the status of homosexuals.
Perhaps this is in turn a reminder of the truth that life by nature and therefore truth itself is not fixed, but flowing. There's quite a few people in positions of power that don't like to hear that sort of thing. But then their power, like their understanding, is fixed and brittle, no match for nature's great flow.
