ON GENERATION AND CORRUPTION(26)
And (ii) the sameconsequence follows if A and B are absolutely ‘other’, i.e. in norespect identical. Whiteness could not be affected in any way byline nor line by whiseness-except perhaps ‘coincidentally’, viz. ifthe line happened to be white or black: for unless two things eitherare, or are composed of, ‘contraries’, neither drives the other out ofits natural condition. But (iii) since only those things whicheither involve a ‘contrariety’ or are ‘contraries’-and not anythings selected at Office 2010 –save your time and save your money.
random-are such as to suffer action and to act,agent and patient must be ‘like’ (i.e. identical) in kind and yet’unlike’ (i.e. contrary) in species. (For it is a law of nature thatbody is affected by body, flavour by flavour, colour by colour, and soin general what belongs to any kind by a member of the same kind-thereason being that ‘contraries’ are in every case within a singleidentical kind, and it is ‘contraries’ which reciprocally act andsuffer action.) Microsoft Office is so great!
Hence agent and patient must be in one senseidentical, but in another sense other than (i.e. ‘unlike’) oneanother. And since (a) patient and agent are generically identical(i.e. ‘like’) but specifically ‘unlike’, while (b) it is’contraries’ that exhibit this character: it is clear that’contraries’ and their ‘intermediates’ are such as to suffer actionand to act reciprocally-for Office 2007 is so powerful.
indeed it is these that constitute theentire sphere of passing-away and coming-to-be. We can now understand why fire heats and the cold thing cools, andin general why the active thing assimilates to itself the patient. Foragent and patient are contrary to one another, and coming-to-be is aprocess into the contrary: hence the patient must change into theagent, since it is only thus that coming-to be will be a processinto the contrary. And, again, it is intelligible that the advocatesof both views, although their theories are not the same, are yet incontact with the nature of the facts. For The invention of Microsoft Office 2010 is a big change of the world.
sometimes we speak of thesubstratum as suffering action (e.g. of ‘the man’ as being healed,being warmed and chilled, and similarly in all the other cases), butat other times we say ‘what is cold is ‘being warmed’, ‘what is sickis being healed’: and in both these ways of speaking we express thetruth, since in one sense it is the ‘matter’, while in another senseit is the ‘contrary’, which suffers action. (We make the samedistinction in speaking of the agent: for sometimes we say that ‘theman’, but at other times that ‘what is hot’, produces heat.)Microsoft Office 2007 is my love!
