The oracle may conceal as much as it reveals
There’s a well-known story about the Oracle at Delphi in which a prominent king, wanting to invade a neighbouring kingdom, approached the oracle to know what would happen if he went forward with his plan. The oracle replied, “If you invade, a great king will fall and his subjects will be rendered into slavery.” Overjoyed at hearing his ambitions so clearly affirmed, the king proceeded to invade his neighbour.
He was defeated. He lost his kingdom. His subjects were made slaves. The oracle’s prophesy was 100 percent true. Only the king was mistaken… Passion had so inflamed the bias of his perception that it obscured the full possibility of Truth.
To quote Robert Schmidt, from whom I first heard this story: “The oracle may conceal as much as it reveals.”
