Wise men talk because they have
something to say; fools, because
they have to say something.
-Plato

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

The division of humanity into two groups, wise and foolish, is a bit broad. It could be a political statement. Did Plato really say that? It's an offensive thing to have said.

the compulsion to speak for no good reason is foolish. many of us exhibit both wisdom and foolishness.
There's no mystery here. All of us exhibit both wisdom and foolishness. I doubt Plato was interested to separating the world into two distinct classes of people (in this regard). A man or woman may be foolish in one moment, and wise in the next. Depending on the moment, they may fall into the foolish group or wise group.
