This is a great lesson for all of us to learn, that in all matters the two
extremes are alike. The extreme positive and the extreme negative are always
similar. When the vibrations of light are too slow we do not see them, nor do we
see them when they are too rapid. So with sound, when very low in pitch we do not
hear it, when very high we do not hear it either. Of like nature is the difference
between resistance and non-resistance. One man does not resist because he is
weak, lazy and cannot; the other man knows that he can strike an irresistible blow
if he likes, yet he not only does not strike but blesses his enemies. The weak who
shows non resistance is oppressed while the stronger one commits a sin if he offers
resistance.
