Those contraries which are such that the subjects in which they are naturally present, or of which they are predicated, must necessarily contain either the one or the other of them, have no intermediate, but those in the case of which no such necessity obtains, always have an intermediate. But then of course one would have to be naturally good and I'll never be that, so I suppose there's no use in thinking about it. A beginning is that which does not itself follow anything by causal necessity, but after which something naturally is or comes to be. |
