Summary

The website content suggests a cautionary approach to communication, advising against questioning until reaching a point of safety or understanding.

Abstract

The text presents a metaphorical dialogue between a 'green one' and a man, where the green one advises against asking questions prematurely. This advice implies that it may be wiser to defer inquiries until a more appropriate time, perhaps when the pair have reached a metaphorical 'shore' of comprehension or completion. The accompanying image by Alex Guillaume, depicting a serene landscape, reinforces the sense of calm and patience that the text advocates.

Opinions

  • The green one's instruction to the man suggests a belief in the value of patience and timing in seeking answers.
  • The phrase "Don’t ask any questions till we reach the shore" implies that immediate answers are not always necessary or beneficial.
  • The use of the word "err" in the title "To err is human" indicates an acceptance of human fallibility, which may relate to the idea that asking questions at the wrong time could lead to mistakes.
