A quotation from Richard Steele
The prevailing humour of crying up authors that have writ in the days of our forefathers, and of passing slightly over the merit of our contemporaries, is a grievance that men of a free and unprejudiced thought have complained of through all ages in their writings.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1713-04-09), The Guardian, No. 25More about this quote: wist.info/steele-richard/85367…

My mind is resting on life’s thresholds this morning. In the diaspora, Yemaya is the vast ocean - and the source of the amniotic waters that bring us into this world, and the deep, quiet currents that eventually carry us home. (1 of 3) #Yemaya #Ancestors #WitchSky

The fact is, very few men are right in everything. Great virtues may draw attention from defects, but they cannot sanctify them. A pebble surrounded by diamonds remains a common stone, and a diamond surrounded by pebbles is still a gem. No one should attempt to refute an argument by pronouncing the name of some man, unless he is willing to adopt all the ideas and beliefs of that man. It is better to give reasons and facts than names. An argument should not depend for its force upon the name of its author. Facts need no pedigree, logic has no heraldry, and the living should not awed by the mistakes of the dead.

Yes! Exactly. And I don’t know when Hanson’s own ancestors’ arrived in Australia but surely the same applied to them.
It’s as if the past has been swept free and it all starts now… (except for anyone who she reckons dissed her in the past & must therefore be sacked, fired or defunded or all 3 now).
Bizarre history blindness & total lack of self-awareness.#AusPol #PHON #ancestors #mono #IAmTheMonoThatCounts #selfAwarenessWhatSelfAwareness
