Some Simple Truths

KATE SWOPE.

Error is not anybody; it is never you. It is not a person. Sometimes it seems to be persons, because it borrows so much. Error lives on what we lend it. It is like a person who cannot make a living, and has to live by borrowing all the time. That is just the way error lives on borrowed life and power.

The reason it seems to be persons—many persons—is because it borrows eyes, ears, tongues, and minds to live by. But persons are only the lenders, lending themselves to error, letting it borrow life and power from them.

Unless we watch, error will borrow our hands and feet, and if we lend them, they will get into mischief; they may slap and kick and destroy things. Hands and feet must be good helpers. We must lend them to good only.
