From subconscious to conscious; from conscious to word; from word to pen; from pen to paper; from paper to eyes; from eyes to conscious; from conscious to subconscious. Insanity is a state of mind which every human suffers from, but few realize their own insanity or the insanity of those around them, for some forms of insanity are considered to be the norm. Mankind has chased insanity since the dawn of our existence and now we see it staring us down; our demons unleashed from Pandora's Box at our own curiousity's request; those that come before us setting the pace for our insanity by following the paths of those that came before them and them before them. Our suffering; entirely our own creation, though far removed and the creation of a different generation; when will we waken from our cooperative nightmare and begin to truly experience life as was first intended?

Pangloss Wisdom

Dr. Pangloss was a character in the French Satire Candide, which was first written in 1759, by Voltaire; a philosopher of the age of enlightenment. In the book, Dr. Pangloss was the mentor of a young man named Candide who lived in seclusion in an Eden-like Paradise. To this young man; Candide; Pangloss sought to teach optimism, until their world was ripped apart and Candide was forced to witness and experience great hardships in the world around him.

This website, Pangloss Wisdom, was designed to bring you wise sayings that Pangloss might have said, had he the time to say them. Each quote is designed to bring insight to the readers mind and the viewer is only ever a click away from the next saying.

Along with this feature, the website also sports a few utilities for web-designers, Shakespearean insults, (Now you, too, can insult like the folk in Shakespeare's plays) a rhyme generator, (for the poetically disinclined) a unit converter, (for those who, like me, didn't spend enough time in school memorizing conversion tables) and a link to their home page, where even more goodies may be found.

Informational, practical and; if nothing else; entertaining, this website has something for just about everybody, even if that something is a temporary distraction from duties.

My rating: 'I like it!' a.k.a. thumbs-up
