SOME ARAB WISDOM HERE

Dear Friends,

Having fun do not exempt us from being responsible for what we say.

And to despise ancient or modern wisdom is not funny. According to an old Arab proverb,

“A prudent man does not listen to a mockery without seeing some lesson in it, but a fool, upon hearing a wise thought -- he turns it into a mockery.” (1)

Best regards, Carlos.
