Marcus Aurelius said:

If anyone can prove and show to me that I think and act in error, I will gladly change it - for I seek the truth, by which no one else has ever been harmed. The one who is harmed is the one who abides in deceit and ignorance.”
(Meditations, 6.21)

… and I’m on record as saying:

It’s more important to be Hospitable than it is to be right.”
(Ad Astra Grove retreat, 4/23/16, Topeka, KS)

Wrong happens. Minds change (gods be praised).

It’s the nature of things…

… and therefore, “right” just as it is.

(See y’all tomorrow)
