Be cautious about defining things out of existence. For example, defining Earth as the center of the universe negates Earth's existence, and defining marriage solely for procreation invalidates many existing marriages.
Défini les choses hors d'existence avec méfiance. Par exemple, définir la Terre comme le centre de l'univers annule l'existence de la Terre. Définir le mariage uniquement pour la procréation invalide de nombreux mariages.
