Preamble

October 2011

About a year or so ago, I was required to read the best part of Blaise Pascal's Pensées. I really enjoyed them, especially "the Wager". In anycase, I was greatly inspired by Pascal's work, so much so that I shortly thereafter decided to begin my own work of "Thoughts*". These thoughts are meant to be shared discussed and mulled over, some might serve as a social commentary of our day and age, others might entirely be ageless wisdoms, regurtitated and recycled and some how found their way into my pen and on to the paper. Since the 19th of Febuary 2011, I have penned 32 of these "pensées", with the hope of many more yet to come.

*Pensées is French for Thoughts, Pascal himself being a Frenchman. As a Citizen of a country who has French as one of it's national languages, I found it fitting to do so, though "Gedanken" or "Thoughts" would have been appropriate as well.
