Red Pill's Self Service: Conclusion

Lot of things was taken for granted in the last post.
But there is something interesting about the search for clarity and avoidance of mistakes.
Everybody wants both, but it is not the search for both of them which is bad. It is the searching process which is not good enough.
If we try to avoid mistakes in the first place, we will not learn much and consequently commit more mistakes in the long run. And if we avoid confusion, we may end up with everything clear. But we will shut down the other possibilities, that is, ignoring what is not clear and may contribute to an even bigger understanding and clarity.
A good road for the avoidance of mistakes seems rather full of mistakes.
And in the same way, a good path to clarity seems in the same way flooded in confusion.
There is no contradiction in that, but sometimes a good path is full of what we want to avoid and that is what is counterintuitive.
