The Fool and Experience
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who like aphorisms and those who don’t. In case you missed it, the “there-are-two-kinds” introduction is a sort of prequel to aphorism! With this in mind, you intuitively know that I like them! Our own Benjamin Franklin continues to this very day to be the […]
