    Standing on the rocks of others

    June 18, 2021 / 0 Comments

    And then to really test you, as all **brilliant ideas do, someone in your life invited you, under the guise of prestigious and highly selective, to something that would subject you to ridicule, belittlement, dismissal and disdain.
