Views into other tracks, other perspectives, other truths...
Why goat tracks?
Our view is that there is not only one truth, one way or one perspective; that there is not just right or wrong, good or evil...
We see a world with many truths, as many as there are living beings - and all of them should be somehow considered!
This way, also this blog will reflect certain truths, or interpretations of the reality, not assuming to be better than any other.
Nevertheless, it will reflect concerns about the world today. It will try to explore the minor tracks, like goat tracks, which no matter how permanent or ephemeral, allow us to cross the reality landscape through routes different from the main information highways.
With this blog we try to give value to the pluralism and the multitude of opinions, and try to give voice, in the best way possible, to reflections, ideas and perspectives that may otherwise not reach further.
Peace!
