A Quote by Siddhartha Gautama Buddha on agreement, belief, common sense, and reason

Believe nothing.
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
Even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha : Indian mystic, founder of Buddhism
Buddha (563 - 483 BC)

Yes, thank you.
Talk is cheep, bargain basement prices, free even, for the taking.
Engage, interface, we need to talk. So what if nothing meaningfull comes to mind. Just say what ever inhabits the cavity.
Not nessecarily all bad. We need to associate, communicate, exchange. Fortunate are they who are blessed with some thing to say worthy of retaining and more fortunate the receiver also.
