What is it to be above ground?

The most enlightening example concerning human nature is in the New Testament when Peter and Jesus Christ speak together and that Pierre insists with his master so that he believes his completely sincere devotion. Thus, Jesus announces to him that the rooster will not have sung that he will have denied it three times. The first place where every man speaks is this one: his weakness. Taking into account everyone's limits, not always to resolve it, but also to overcome them, forces to reason from what you are and not from what you think you are. Any man who does not know his weaknesses, who forgets them, who does not take them into account is above ground as we used to say today. Affairs meaning that you are nourished by a pasture that is not ours, that you deny your pasture to find any other pasture than your best, because other. Affairs also means that the words received could be obtained everywhere else in the world without this posing a problem, these words being without roots, translatable in all language and exportable like a "framework" in computer science. The objective is characterized by the desire to reach such a level of abstraction and uprooting that the question will no longer even make sense.
