Question: |
Why did we easily place our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them? |
Answer: |
We easily placed our trust in someone due to our affection, emotional attachment, and desire to possess them because these feelings can create a sense of favoritism and emotional connection that can cloud our judgment. This type of trust can be shallow, blind, and often occurs in people who like to rely on others. |

Question: |
Why is failure considered the "mother of success" in this sentence? |
Answer: |
Failure is considered the "mother of success" in this sentence because it implies that success is often built on past failures. The learnings gained, skills practiced, experiences, and knowledge accumulated during the times of failure are then used effectively in succeeding tasks. Thus, success stands on the shoulders of past failures, and it is important to acknowledge that there is no enduring success without initial small failures. |

Question: |
Why can't they ultimately bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves? |
Answer: |
They ultimately cannot bear and solve the deadlock difficulties within themselves because they have not had any personal experience, heavily rely on teachings, and only turn to others for help when they can no longer bear the difficulties themselves. Due to this dependence, they become weaker and tend to not rely on their own strength, making it nearly impossible for them to resolve their own struggles. |

it certainly seems strange that on January 10th and on January 14th,
Lord Granville should have proposed, without a word of
consultation
with
Gordon himself, to send him on a mission which involved, not the
reconquest, but the abandonment of the Sudan; Gordon, indeed, when he
was actually approached by Lord Wolseley, had apparently agreed to
become the agent of a policy which was exactly the reverse of his own.

Question: |
Why is it important to commit the beginnings of great actions to Argus with his hundred eyes, and the ends to Briareus with his hundred hands in the context of considering the ripeness or unripeness of an occasion? |
Answer: |
In the context of considering the ripeness or unripeness of an occasion, committing the beginnings of great actions to Argus with his hundred eyes and the ends to Briareus with his hundred hands emphasizes the importance of using caution, alertness, and vigilance at the start of an endeavor, and speed and efficient execution towards the end. By employing these strategies, one can better assess the appropriateness of the timing and manage potential dangers or challenges. This balance prevents becoming too complacent or overly cautious, which could lead to missed opportunities or risks. |

Guess: |
conceivably |
Question: |
Why is it impossible to conceive how the equality of conditions could have disappeared after once existing? |
Answer: |
It is impossible to conceive how the equality of conditions could have disappeared after once existing because the passage argues that if original equality existed, then the present inequality must be a degeneration from the nature of society, which defenders of property cannot explain. Additionally, the passage suggests that if Providence placed the first human beings in a condition of equality, it was an indication of its desires and a model it wished them to realize in other forms. Hence, the passage implies that humans naturally incline towards equality, making it difficult to understand how it could have disappeared. |

Why does the speaker believe that the smile of the one mentioned holds more value than the age-old knowledge of the books? |
Answer: |
The speaker believes that the smile of the one mentioned holds more value than the age-old knowledge of the books because it seems to have a more immediate and personal impact on them, offering a sense of affection, joy, and connection that they cannot get from the impersonal, monotonous information in the books. |

MARMADUKE (going on)
And should he make the Child
An instrument of falsehood, should he teach her
To stretch her arms, and dim the gladsome light
Of infant playfulness with piteous looks
Of misery that was not--
LACY
Troth, 'tis hard--
But in a world like ours--
MARMADUKE (changing his tone)
This self-same Man--
Even while he printed kisses on the cheek
Of this poor Babe, and taught its innocent tongue
To lisp the name of Father--could he look
To the unnatural harvest of that time
When he should give her up, a Woman grown,
To him who bid the highest in the market
Of foul pollution--
LACY The whole visible world
Contains
not such a Monster!
Guess: |
contains |
Question: |
Why would Marmaduke suggest that the man would teach the child to pretend to be miserable and eventually sell her to the highest bidder? |
Answer: |
Marmaduke suggests that the man would teach the child to pretend to be miserable and eventually sell her to the highest bidder to highlight the evil of human nature and the corruption of the world. By painting a scenario of a man exploiting a vulnerable child for personal gain, Marmaduke seeks to evoke a sense of horror and shock in his friends, exemplifying how the world is "poisoned at the heart." |

All Unexcelled Tantras are the same in terms of their indivisible union of actual art and wisdom as such bliss and voidness, in taking this as their supreme subject of concern, and thus the
condition
of the nature of all Unexcelled Tantras is that they are actual nondual Tantras.
Guess: |
essence |
Question: |
Why are all Unexcelled Tantras considered to be actual nondual Tantras due to their indivisible union of art and wisdom as well as their focus on bliss and voidness? |
Answer: |
All Unexcelled Tantras are considered to be actual nondual Tantras because they have an indivisible union of actual art and wisdom in the form of bliss and voidness. They take this union as their supreme subject of concern. This means that they do not prioritize either art or wisdom, but instead focus on the seamless connection between the two. As a result, the Father Tantras and the Mother Tantras are considered to be divisions of the basic category of nondual Tantras, rather than exclusive categories. |

And when memory failed and written records
were falsified — when that happened, the claim of the Party
to have
improved
the conditions of human life had got to be
accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could
exist, any standard against which it could be tested.
Guess: |
improved |
Question: |
Why does the falsification of written records lead to the acceptance of the Party's claim of improving human life conditions without any standard for testing it? |
Answer: |
The falsification of written records leads to the acceptance of the Party's claim of improving human life conditions without any standard for testing it because, when memory fails and written records are falsified, there are no facts against which this claim can be tested. Additionally, survivors from the ancient world are incapable of comparing different ages due to their limited vision and focus on trivial details, which means there is no basis or standard for comparison. |

Sailors and landsmen, marshall'd o'er the strand,
In garbs of various hue around me stand;
Each earnest, first to plight the sacred vow,
Oceans unknown, and gulfs untried to plough:
Then, turning to the ships their
sparkling
eyes,
With joy they heard the breathing winds arise;
Elate with joy, beheld the flapping sail,
And purple standards floating on the gale:
While each presag'd, that great as Argo's fame,
Our fleet should give some starry band a name.

Answer: |
Mrs. Dedalus didn't like the idea of sending him to the Christian Brothers because she didn't want him to be associated with "Paddy Stink and Micky Mud"; she preferred that he remain with the Jesuits since he already began with them and believed they would be of service to him in the future. |
