Erster Eintrag -

Wilkommen aufs Narrenschiff!

A simple thought for today:

In motley pictures with a little clarity,
Much error and a spark of verity,
Thus can the best of drinks be brewed
To quicken and uplift the multitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust

Though we may disagree with others believe, say, write or otherwise express, it is nonetheless worthwhile to learn from them, listen to them, read what they write and appreciate what they have to offer. It is possible to see one's thoughts as containing a great deal of error and yet learn a great deal from them. In agreement with Goethe's Lustige Person, we should strive to find the truth in all things we are approached with.

This approach is the only way to get off the Narrenschiff.
