Things that matter

This time we’ll bathe in one truly important insight of Galileo Galilei, the father of modern science.

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 - 8 January 1642) was a Tuscan (Italian) physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution.

The quoted idea is of great importance, as it sheds a much needed ray of light on the works of many writers, bloggers and educators. We’d all like to be considered as ‘influential’ and eye-opening individuals for the society, but truth be told, we’re very limited in that regard.

All that I can do, or all that any writer or educator can do, is bounded by the willingness of the person reading what we have to share; I’m not here to ‘teach’ you anything, I’m here to help you discover whatever dormant wisdom may lie within yourself. As Jorge Luis Borges elegantly put it, “a book (blog in this case) should not reveal things; a book should simply help us discover them.”

With that thought in mind, I hope that visiting this site has helped you in that matter!
