Opinions



Q. What are your grounds for believing such and such?

A. My experiences are my 'grounds', of course - what else?

Q. By your 'experiences', do you really mean your 'prejudices'?

A. Naturally.



Each opinion is an island of certainty in a sea of puzzlement.

Do we then 'deserve' such opinions?

Rarely do we 'deserve' them, but we certainly need them.

We need them so that we can survive on our islands.
