It is common error to infer that things which are consecutive in order of time have necessarily the relation of cause and effect.

Our capital system is haunted by the demon of error: error in determining guilt and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die. What effect was race having? What effect was poverty having?

From my own being, and from the dependency I find in myself and my ideas, I do, by an act of reason, necessarily infer the existence of a God, and of all created things in the mind of God.

Aint Necessarily So
(slow)
It aint necessarily so
No, it aint necessarily so
These things that youre liable,
To read in the bible.
No it aint necessarily so
(jammin)
You bet that you cant be wrong.
No place where you dont belong.
Theres nothin you dont know.
But it aint necessarily so
To you theres never no doubt.
Its either in or its out.
You sure put up quite a show.
But it aint necessarily so
I said hold, let your bad self go.
Hold on, caus you already know.
Its never maybe or might.
To you its black or its white.
If I say yes you say no.
But it anns necessarily so
Hold on, let your bad self go.
Hold on, cause you already know.
You think that you cant be wrong.
No place where you dont belong.
Theres nothing you dont know.
But it aint necessarily so
Aint necessarily so
Aint necessarily so
No no no no
No it aint necessarily so
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No it aint necessarily so.
No no no no
No it aint necessarily so.

It Ain't Necessarily So
Ain't necessarily so.
Ain't necessarily so.
Things you're liable
To read in a bible
Ain't necessarily so.
Little David he was small, alright,
Yeah, now David he was small alright,
Just like Goliath
Lay dying then he dieth,
Oh he was small, alright.
Little Moses he was found in a stream.
Yeah Moses now he was found in a stream
When that pharoah's sweet daughter
She came by and fished that boy out from the water,
Fished him, she said, from a stream.
Now Jonah now he lived in a whale.
Yeah Jonah he lived in a whale
Yet he made his home in that
Fish's abdomen.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
I said, ain't necessarily so.
No, ain't necessarily so.
The things you're liable
To read in a bible
Ain't necessarily so.
Ain't necessarily so.
No, it ain't necessarily so.

I Can Mind My Own Business Somewhere Else
You talking to me?
'No.
Not necessarily.
Why? '
You seem able to pick my thoughts.
And expound upon them.
'I was actually talking to myself.'
Well,
I wish you speak up.
At least allow me to interfere,
In your discussion.
I have a few comments I'd like to suggest.
'But I am not speaking to you! '
And what difference does that make?
I have other things to do than to waste my time.
You want to hear what I have to say or not?
'No.
Not necessarily.
Why? '
Who cares?
I can mind my own business,
Somewhere else!

Adultery at one’s wills
.
Proximity promotes adultery
But not necessarily.
Opportunities encourage adultery
But not necessarily.
Necessities warrant adultery
But not necessarily.
Baits contribute to adultery
But not necessarily.
Adultery is no more than a theft
Which will happen with one’s wills.

The Common Law and Equity
The common law is male
Equity is female.
Each needs the other
For justice to be in order.
The common law is lame
Without equity’s fame.
Equity’s a piece of nonsense
Without common law’s presence.
When the conflicts arise,
Equity should stand tall
But upon the common law.
Both make justice rise.
The common law and equity
What a wonderful blend!

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

What on earth
Life can be hell with third factor
She is there in this important sector
Nothing goes in order or working well
Life could prove to be simple but a living hell
We are tempted to have extra martial affairs
Can’t show or move in public as ideal pairs
Someone may term her as a spare wheel
Very awkward situation one may always feel
We can’t go on blaming the fate
Situation might have developed very late
One is visibly moved and think how to state
No one but self has to assess and rate
Life is compared to active volcano
Erupting at a time difficult to know
Colossal damage and disruption in life
Only tears are left for weeping wife
No one is sure but definitely trap is laid
Not little or single word of praise is said
When it comes to fore, rocks the world
Relation strained and developing cold
“What on earth are you weeping dear”
My feet became wet with falling of tear
My close friend was shivering with fear
Unbearable discomforts he couldn’t wear
He had all along developed relation
Ventured into it with little hesitation
Life had become prestige and joke
Illicit relation had surfaced with thick smoke
He couldn’t hide it with nothing to speak
Had committed grave error to sneak
No one may help or come to his rescue
Punishment for him was in fact over due
We may find ourselves in alien land
No one can blame it for unseen hand
We are to be blamed and no one else
You will be simply reduced to rubbles

The pain of a disappointed wish necessarily produces less effect upon the mind if a man has not certainly promised himself success. - De Tranquillitate Animi
You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into.

The interval between the decay of the old and the formation and establishment of the new constitutes a period of transition which must always necessarily be one of uncertainty, confusion, error, and wild and fierce fanaticism.

An error is fear
The fear of an error is already an error
If it is revealed at the end then it is fear
You may go into any depth and analyze
It can be had in maximum or crystallize
We don’t rule out any criticism
It is not called individualism
It is neither sarcastic or joke
It is meddling or unnecessary pokes
We can sum up what has been said
We can also judge what has been laid
We are not here for anything paid
It is not prepared or already made
When we set for the quest?
We try all out and go for best
It is critical time and real test
Nothing can be had if you cool down or rest
You should not feel hungry or be called mad
It may result in negative and you will be sad
If you are not sure of any result for things
You should not go for it or try at anything
Is it necessary to go all out for venture?
Can that shape out destiny or future?
Will we commit any mistake or error?
Can that not be seen in any mirror?
It can be judgmental miscalculation
It has got no relevance or direct relation
There is no doubt or any question
There is chance for no feed back but only retaliation
You may not be taken lightly when confronted on the issue
There may be constant watch and periodical reviews
Your actions may be takes with serious views
Not all may object but kindly taken by only few
It is human lapse and can’t be considered as such
It is miscalculation and should not be harped too much
It is to be forgiven once for all and discounted the fear
Not much stress is to be laid and no grudge to bear
The moment you have fear in mind
You may loose balance and can’t remain kind
Everything seems to be in doldrums and shaky
It should not be landed in mess and look tricky
An error can create serious misunderstanding
It remain there permanent and unending
It has to be addressed in shortest possible time
It may multiply and sometimes considered as crime
To err deliberately is not pardonable
It is almost not appreciated and condemnable
Sometimes it is considered as an art to deceive
It is not welcomed and not gently received
One must face it as brave
Though its consequences may be grave
It is human to err and must be forgiven
The situation should be too far driven

The Error
this is not an ordinary error that one corrects
like a grammatical mistake
that with a slight stroke of the pen
everything becomes correct
and acceptable
this is repeated error
one knows it is an error but one does not correct it
it plunges and pushes and pulls
back to the same error again
something delicious
so sweet to the tongue
the mouth salivates
and the heart pounces upon
a thousand breathings
this is the error that one always looks forward to see
one evening and another
in a room the two of you sharing it
you kneel and pray and soar to heights
without so many words wasted
poem by Ric S. Bastasa

No consensus of men can make an error erroneous. We can only find or commit an error, not create it. When we commit an error, we say what was an error already.
