He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Re: Greetings Dhamma Wheel
Thank you for your kind welcomes Manapa & David 'The Dhamma' Snyder.
Manapa: I see you are from Aberdeen. I myself am just outside Edinburgh.
The Dhamma: Curiously enough, a friend of mine just became a friend of yours on Facebook.
Hope you are both well.

it depends on wha you enjoy, it is a mini-Scotland in many ways as my Gran used to say (she was Scotish), beautiful views etc, and if you like bikes there is no better place than here when the races are on.
