THINKING IS A GODLY DUTY - but not only...
DO I OBEY THE LAW OR DO I TELL THE TRUTH?
I DO BOTH BECAUSE TRUTH IS NOT A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
BUT THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH OUR CIVILISATION RESTS.
Think of the engineer who lies about critical building measurements.
Think of the Holocaust believer who said: 'but in my mind it was true'.
Think of the politician who said: 'I did not have sex with her...'

Adelaide City Street Art
What's so unusual standing next to a VW?
Off Rundle Mall, on Gawler Place there are three VWs attracting passers-by to look - through the roof
- and what's this? - a tree growing through the VWs roof!
Smart street scape artist!

Words
of Cautionary Wisdom from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“And
how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like
if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had
been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his
family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad,
when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat
there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door
and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left
to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen
people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs
would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and,
notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst; the cursed machine would have ground
to a halt . . .”

Gulag Archipelago
