The Wayfarer Philosophy

The Wayfarer Philosophy

The Wayfarers of old traveled across land and sea as a way of life. They made money through the fruits of their labor. As they traveled, they learned from those whom they met and shared ideas with from far away lands with others. The code of a principled wayfarer is to respect others and to learn from their life experiences. Learning from life is the way in which we grow and expand ourselves. True growth, however, depends on honesty – honesty with others and honesty with one’s self. In the modern age, there is a lot of dishonesty throughout the world. Much of it is propagated by the media and the interests of those who control the flow of information. This site is dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge through honesty.
