a harmony by way of a wall, The Mechanics of Virtue, Matt Berry, aphorism 113
113
To force two relationships into one standard is to sacrifice one of the relationships, if not both. But to have two standards for two relationships forced into one context is also to sacrifice one of the relationships, if not both. Thus, two relationships, two standards, and two contexts maintain harmony ... a harmony by way of a wall. Without walls we would not have the concepts of “neighbor” or “relationship.”
