Tightrope Walker

“If you wanted to be a tightrope walker, I suppose you’d have to do lots of practice, wouldn’t you?”

“Oh no, that would be boring! I’d read a few books about it, and that would sort me out.”

“I don’t know about that. How would you have gained the sense of balance? All that would happen with you and your knowledge is you’d just fall.”

“As if someone practicing wouldn’t fall!”

“Yeah, but that’s the only way they’d end up not falling.”

“Total contradiction! All I would have to do is gain the theoretical knowledge, and then apply it. Simple.”
