In moments of wild enthusiasm for an 'idea', unbridled certainty about one's views, a driven desire to 'get this down', you rush pell mell into print.
It is at this juncture that proverbs are of some use.
In such a Proverb, King Solomon had some advice for those rushing into print with ill-informed opinions: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise." Translated, it is back to basics.
All my opinions are no more than theories. 'Originality' is a false dawn.
Fate, to quote Euripedes, batters at the sails of certainty.
