"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
Every day I come across great thoughts. True dat, I think.
What truths did you find today that we all know but perhaps need hearing differently?

Not sure if this aligns with your post @lobster - kind of does
I saw this while looking at other things on the internet and I really liked it. I hate when I see people being rude or looking down at people because they THINK they are better than them (think being the operative word)
This is one definitely for the Ladies to live by, and the wonderful gentlemen of this forum to enjoy and encourage their ladies to follow. There is slightly explicit language, but ya know.... we're all adults here....
Have fun - !

I realise I'm not very active, so am getting a few days of quotes in on what is a lovely reflective post! And I love reflection!

“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”
Isaac Asimov
Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom,
And it will be a hundred times better for everyone.
Give up kindness, renounce morality,
And men will rediscover filial piety and love.
Give up ingenuity, renounce profit,
And bandits and thieves will disappear.
These three are outward forms alone; they are not sufficient in themselves.
It is more important
To see the simplicity,
To realize one’s true nature,
To cast off selfishness
And temper desire.
– Chapter 19, Tao Te Ching
