Mijn blog titel was mijn eigen uitspraak van afgelopen woensdag. Hoe meer ik er over nadenk, hoe vaker die uitspraak eigenlijk van toepassing is. Veel (beroemde c.q. beruchte) uitspraken van Geert Wilders vallen er mijns inziens onder. In het Engels zou je mijn blog titel wellicht het beste kunnen vertalen als: "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get...

Last week, while discussing corona protests, I made a sudden remark: Anger knows no morality, or in Dutch: "Woede kent geen moraliteit". I made a note of that remark as I sensed a blog topic. Subsequently, I wondered whether the Dark side has its own version of morality. I suppose these are called vices. Late 2012, I experienced my first-ever blind rage due to an...
