Words for Thought

This is from a blog, "On Art," by Jonathan Jones in the Guardian of January 20, 2011:

"The virtue of blogs and the comments they attract lies in the diversity of opinion in itself: so does the value of democracy. This is surely obvious, yet we do not say it often. It seems it is very difficult to acknowledge that (a) we may be wrong, and (b) the most valuable quality of our culture is the right to be wrong, loudly."

Free speech, I think, is the purest form of freedom and diversity is the best way to find solutions.

  1. Diversity of opinion seems such a valuable commodity. Looking at only one side of an issue is so restraining and the polar opposite of freedom. (Dawson)
