He that I am reading seems always to have the most force.

Whatever argument you are inside of at the moment feels like the strongest one you have ever met. Immersion does that. The case in front of you has all its supports visible, while its rivals are reduced to your memory of them, which is thin by comparison. Being convinced is partly a fact about where your attention has been.

When something you read leaves you certain, wait a few days before acting on it. Go back to the view it displaced and state that one as well as you can. Whatever survives both readings has earned more than your enthusiasm.
