Chapter 23. Pure <strong>and</strong> impure. Rio Negro <strong>and</strong> the Amazon meet in Manaus,<br />
Brazil. Picture: Markus Mauthe. http://www.wildview.de/tag/rio-negro/.<br />
Commentary: Usually two waters get mixed when they come together. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
two impure waters remain separated in the same river at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Amazon. Only after 30 km they are completely mixed. <strong>The</strong> idea or notion ‘pure’<br />
has no meaning without the opposite idea or notion ‘impure’. A fundamental or<br />
elementary or independent idea or notion does not exist. Our ideas or notions<br />
are dependent. One notion is contingent upon another.
