The names of fools always stick to the walls.

Comment: This proverb made me laugh out loud. I've walked the streets
of ancient Pompeii, excavated from the volcanic ash, and I've seen the
graffiti that the Romans were famous for. They did, indeed, write
their names, their politicians' names, their lovers' names, their
enemies' names, and their own names all over the walls.

Metaphorically, though, isn't it true, that those who become fools,
out of daily practice of stupidity, or those who become Fools, out of
a complete openness to the flow of life, are known by the walls of a
place? Their names, deeds and reputations are told by the "walls"
that society builds around them.

If the walls could speak, what would they call us?
