The Praise of Folly
Is the obsession with being perfect actually making my life barren?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading this ingenious satire, in which the Goddess of Folly herself mounts the platform to sing her own praises, I tasted a delightful sense of release. Erasmus needles the hypocrisy of human beings who pretend to be rational and perfect, whispering that a little folly, a little self-deception, a little blind passion are sometimes what make our lives worth living. The disposition to over-analyze and weigh everything only robs life of its joy. To those of us worn out by an arid rationalism, this book offers a witty consolation: do not be afraid to be a fool.
"Human life is nothing more than a comedy in which folly plays the leading role."Erasmus, The Praise of Folly
"인간의 삶이란 어리석음이 연출하는 한 편의 희극에 불과하다."
