To enjoy and to give joy, without harming either oneself or anyone else, that, I think, is all of morality.
[Jouis et fair jouir, sans faire mal ni à toi ni à personne, voilà, je crois, toute la morale.]Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 5, ¶ 319 (1795) [tr. Siniscalchi (1994)]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/chamfort-nicolas/159…

📢 Dear #Taipei_Times (#台北時報) editors,
😱 Whenever you do a story about #cannabis :cannabis_leaf:, you should mention #Taiwan's 🇳🇫 #decriminalization movement and the #substance's relative #harmlessness (compared with, for example, #alcohol).
https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2024/01/22/2003812452💔 Love,
