The Courage To Understand

August 23, 2021 by Jim Miles

“It is not knowledge we lack.

What is missing is the courage

to understand what we know and draw conclusions.”

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This is where I explain myself. I’m interested in the record of my own evolving worldview, and this is one way of recording it. This blog has no theme except that in reading it, one might come to understand me better.
