Thought for the Week

"Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again." Vincent Van Gogh

    The quote reminds me of the theory of human fallibility that appears in some of my philosophical essays.

    I posted on my blog a new essay on the subject and hope you find it interesting. The URL is http://buildingstrongercommunities.blogspot.com/2011/01/fallability-and-community.html.

    I'm grateful for the opportunity to post this comment and look forward to your response.

    Hello - thanks for the post. I'll catch up with your blog post as soon as I can.

    I posted the quote also because we were thinking about the need to keep trying even when things aren't going so well.

    Yes I agree about the qualification - you need to know when to channel your energies in a different direction too.
