Last week’s prompt was “Reflect on the Miracle of Life” and we were blown away by the insightful and thought-provoking responses we received. After much consideration, we are excited to announce that the winner of last week’s prompt is philosophy through photography! who provided a deeply reflective and well-written analysis of the quote, exploring its relevance to their own life and the world at large. Congratulations on their well-deserved win!
This week’s quote is from the celebrated author Mark Twain: “Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.” This quote raises an interesting question: what makes someone worthy of the truth?
