About Me:
gosh people tend to be so inspired here….

Sunt mihi divitiae, sunt et convivia laeta,
est requies dulcis… (ALCUIN: CONFLICTUS VERIS ET HIEMIS)

We have here the fundamental problem of ethics, the crux of the theory of moral conduct. What is justice? - shall we seek righteousness, or shall we seek power? - is it better to be good, or to be strong? (Will Durant: The Story of
Philosophy)
What is all about?
Jeder Mensch gilt in dieser Welt nur so viel, als wozu er
sich selbst macht.
Strebe nach Vollkommenheit, aber nicht nach dem Scheine der
Vollkommenheit und Unfehlbarkeit!
Sei aber nicht gar zu sehr ein Sklave der Meinungen andrer
von dir! Sei selbstaendig! Was kuemmert dich am Ende das
Urteil der ganzen Welt, wenn du tust, was du sollst? Und
was ist deine ganze Garderobe von Tugenden wert,
wenn du diesen Flitterputz ueber ein schwaches, niedriges
Herz haengst, um in Gesellschaften Staat damit zu machen?
Vor allen Dingen wache ueber dich, dass du nicht die innere
Zuversicht zu dir selber, das Vertrauen auf Gott, auf gute
Menschen und auf das Schicksal verlierest! (Adolph Freiherr
von Knigge: Ueber den Umgang mit Menschen)
