Shownotes Transcript

Are you a chess player? I am not. I barely understand the rules, but I'm not at all skilled and I'm probably very bad at it. But I do understand that there are pieces with different movement rules. A pawn can't move the same distance as a bishop and a rook can't make the same move as a horse. And all this on clearly defined black and white squares. The latter in particular is not popular today: clear demarcations, black and white. Rather, today much is grey, no longer clearly definable, open, pluralistic. This may be good in certain areas of life, but harmful in others. Even if it is unpopular, there are situations where you have to be black and white, have a clear commitment, objectively and clearly state the truth, which in my opinion really does exist. Yes, sometimes unpopular, but experience has shown that it is ultimately more helpful than being vapidly non-committal. Have the courage to be clear in the required situations.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
